I agree that was the reason but the cost alone wasn't the problem. The issue is the consumer has to look at a package and say "The price I'm paying is justifed by the value of what I get in return." and the money they were able to save by removing BC lowered the perceived value far more than what they saved for a lot of people.
The value of BC to a consumer is greater than Sony seems to have anticipated. In an ideal world this would mean they just add it back in and sales will be fine again...but this isn't always the case in reality. I hope they do re-add BC to the console as it is really one of my pre-requisites for buying the console.
