But my xbox 360 failed, ps2 failed, and PS3 likely will. w/o backwards compatibilty I probably won't buy a PS4 (Sony is under no obligation to make it B/C, but I'm under no obligation to buy it).


All things man-made especially those that are mechanical or electrical in nature is prone to fail eventually, when you buy something like this, you should expect it to fail eventually.

If Sony and Microsoft can get backwards compatability working via a console addon or inclusion of the prior consoles processors or even in software, then great, I know allot of people who moved from a PS1 to a PS2 because it would  still run all their PS1 games, so it's obviously a feature many people wanted and helps lock in paying customers to a certain platform.

I hope they have 2 SKUs.  One for $399 with no BC to sell more, and one for $450 with BC and possibly a larger HDD.
