| bigjon said: Last gen the Wii also got of to a blazing start but by year 4 it was trending way down. This is because it was much weaker and therefore when it got the big 3rd party games they were inferior for many reasons(graphically, online support, ect) my question is does the PS4 have a flaw that will eventually bring it back to the pack or will the train just keep rolling? Honestly to me the biggest flaws are no backwards compatibility (which WiiU has but the main competitor XB1 does not have either) and lack of 3d support. Lack of compat won't matter as much in year 3 because the PS4 library will be filling and I assume 3d support is coming. Thoughts? |
Backwards compatibility is a redundant weakness, not a strenght. It drives up the price and/or makes the console less sufficient due to being forced to make compromise, it makes hardware design more complicated and... it isn't logical. I have a PS3, i want to buy a PS4. If my PS3 would be backwards compatible i wouldn't need a PS2. If PS4 had BC i wouldn't need my PS3 anymore and i could sell it. But i can't sell it because i wouldn't be able to play PS2 games anymore. So i have to keep the PS3 anyway, so i have to pay twice for the same console. Even if i sell it, it would nullify the money i get from selling the last gen console. Conclusion: The only reason to implement BC is for a few couchpotatoes who are too lazy to hook up their old consoles.
