Honestly you're being a pushover to Sony if you think this isn't a big deal. The moment I get a new Xbox and the awesome new interface, along with better features and faster/better everything, why would I want to boot up my old Xbox for an online game of Halo 4. Microsoft better not pull the same crap. Sony appears to be just goofing off in terms of digital distribution and ecosystem but Microsoft should know how something like this can really hurt your ecosystem reputation. |
The whole point is that you shouldn't want to go back to your old console. I used the BC on my PS3 4x overall, one of them was God of War II, since that came out after the PS3 if I am not mistaken, then the other were chances to play 2 of my favourite ever PS2 games. I can manage if I just play them on Gaikai instead. The only real problem was the lack of a football game on the PS3, so I did have to keep playing PES for a while
It is not to do with online infrastructure, it is to do with the radical change in architecture and lack of emulation. I can agree that it is probably just them being greedy wrt PS1 and PS2 games, but other than that it is fine.
Worst comes to worst, I will just have to keep my PS3 plugged in for FIFA. But anyway, living in the UK means that it will inevitably be late, so I will have more games to play at launch
