Very important but I can live without that if the system already has a big library of games that I like.
For example, 4-5 years ago there was no way I would have purchased a PS3 without BC because the library was very weak for years and without ps2 games to keep me busy it would haven just gathering dust. That's not a problem with the latest Nintendo consoles because in the case of the Wii I had the gamecube library. And now on the WiiU I have the Wii library. Now that there are enough games that I may like in the PS3 the BC is not that important. But the ps4 lost me as a consumer due to the lack of BC and a currently weak line-up of announced games. Now most likely it will take 4 years or so before I get interested in the system.
