I don't include retro games in my backlog either, though like you, I love going back and playing them. There are plenty there I'm looking forward to finally getting around to. Though I'm getting a PS4 at launch, I am thinking that the library will take awhile to get built up, allowing me to continue to go back to my PS3 backlog. The genius of Mark Cerny and Shu Yoshida is my biggest obstacle to that, as the "time to triangle" in the development process has been reduced back to PS1 levels according to Cerny.

The PS2 and PS1 took about 3 years to build up a decent library, the PS2 took only 1 though, so we have time. Also I've never faired well with first gen PS systems. My PS1 and PS2 broke in 5 years (which is still good), and my PS3 only lasted 2 (but I bought it used). I'm going to wait for a PS4 Slim, and until then I'll get a Wii U. I got a Wii late this gen, and Mario Kart/Smash Bros./Wii Sports just aren't as amazingwhen they are 4 years old.
Also, "time to triangle?" What are you talking about?
Also, there retro games are nice, there are so many great PS1/PS2 games I missed out on. I don't need to beat Final Fantasy 7-9, Chrono Cross, or Shadow Hearts any time soon, but I know I'll like these types of games, and it's nie to pwn physical copies.

"Time to Triangle" - a phrase coined by the great Mark Cerny. See here (fantastic presentation): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHXrBnipHyA

I don't know who Cerny is, but that man in the video is creepy and it's long.....
There we go, I skimmed and found it....nevermind, he just keeps talking about why he is so great. No offense, but I find this guy really arrogant, annoying, and he really scares me. I mean do I really need to know that you've been with your wife for 25 years? Why would I care?Took me a while, but now I remember why I find him scary
I feel like he wants to kill babies
