| haxxiy said: I was thinking exactly about those two. The Wii U is tanking with BC, and the PS3 started to sell better after BC was removed as a cost-cutting measure. I guess MS might have thought this was a good way to stop their US userbase from defecting to the PS4 and assure brand loyalty, but its benefits are still to be seen. |
I think this is part of the reason they are doing it. But, just like the examples I gave, that didn't help them in the US, either. The fact is, people are jumping to next gen for next gen games, or even partly for remasters with near next gen improvements. Not to play the exact games, with no graphical improvements, they have been playing for years already. It may push a slight few who are the fence to decide to get a XBO, but it won't change the overall picture.
B/C is like a nice icing on a cake. People aren't going to eat a cake they don't really like the taste of, just because you put a sweet icing on the top of it.
