The consoles use arcitecture that hardly differs from PC.  Last gen it was COMPLETELY different.  Hard to emulate. 

Have fun waiting for Sony to release their stream service so you can stream previously bought PSN games from your PS3 to PS4.  Not sure what the hell Microsoft is going to do about the previously bought Live games.  The only thing I know is that I was able to do a system transfer from my Wii to Wii U and transfer all my previously bought WiiWare and VC games onto my Wii U day 1.  I suppose you can keep the 360 or PS3 hooked up to your TV along with your new system. 

Just saying I would be pissed to not be able to transfer all my previously bought games from online marketplace to my new console.

I could care less.  PC is the only platform where I will play even semi old games.  Use an OG Xbox for movies/tvshows/ and emulators via XBMC.  Those are games I enjoy playing that are pretty old, (n64 emulator) 

But, if the arcitecture is the same, which it will be for next gen, backwards comadibility should be a given especially if they want shorter life cycles to compete with PCs and Steambox.
