I miss it too, at least with Sony's systems. Nintendo, conversely, has been really great over the past two generations with backward compatibility. I've been able to retire older systems, e.g. GCN, GBA, Wii, DS, once the new generation arrives. It saves space, it saves time, and, for consumers who never owned the previous gen system, it allows them to catch up on the full library of games.
Would I choose not to purchase a system simply because it lacks backward compatibility? No. But it would have been nice to retire my PS3 or, if I get an Xbox One, my 360.
