Because I don't want to invest in consoles that shit on Backwards Compatibility and from every indication are the beginning of the end for a trend in gaming. That's just me though.

Didn't you buy the GameCube which had no backwards compatibility? I don't think you're telling the entire truth. You mean to tell me you would just not play games you love over backwards compatibility? I'm going to have call bullshit on that one because, you hated on the PS3 even when it did have it. I think you would enjoy gaming more if you were more open minded towards it. There are multiple games on the PS3 that you want, yet you turn the other cheek for some odd reason.

The Gamecube didn't have a predicessor that played discs so it was forgiveable and now those games which couldn't be played on the Gamecube are now being made available on the Wii, so its a self remedying situation.

Sjeez.  Cherry picking much?

 

No, not really. Cartridges don't play on Disc Readers. Crazy I know. You think Nintendo would have re-released the entire NES, SNES and N64 libraries on Gamecube Compatible discs or something so that the GC could have had BC right?

Gamecube's reason for no Backwards compatibility was a change in formats and the resulting complications there of, sorry but the prospect of a foot long addition to the Gamecube to play these three cartridge types isn't a realistic one I'm afraid. The 360's was, oh I know lets make a completely different hardware based console that isn't compatible with its predicessor and refuse to pay the rights to buy the hardware that would allow them to have true B/C. The PS3's was, oh shit we made an overengineered console that costs too much, how do we cut costs? What goes first?

Also I ask, what is worse, a brand that didn't have B/C and now does or a brand that did and now doesn't?
