| Ka-pi96 said: 1. As far as I remember the PS1 lasted pretty well. Original Xbox, PSP and Vita all seem to as well. No real problems with Xbox One or PS4 (other than the controller) yet either. So that point doesn't really work. It isn't guaranteed that theirs will and their competitors won't. 2. They also keep resisting innovation and are stuck in some old fashioned practices, which is also one of the reasons people want them to go 3rd party ironically enough. 3. The fact that they are forcing you to buy their own hardware in order to play their software kind of goes against this point... 4. Sony and Microsoft have only not had backwards compatibility once... I expect it will have been the last time they've not had it as well... 5. Impossible to prove, partly because we wouldn't know unless they actually tried and also partly because it would be purely subjective. |
They don't force you to buy their console. If YOU want to play their games, then its up to you if you get their console or not. There's other games and apps that you could use/play, and BC too. On the other hand, you don't have to pay for online play if you don't want to, SONY/MICROSOFT are not forcing you to pay, but they're keeping content of the games you bought away from you. Your point #3 is a big lie.
