Idk of anyone here saying it's maybe going to win MS the sales battle. It's simply an awesome and free feature for those who already own or will own the console in the future.

By this logic, nothing Sony showed last night was a megaton or a "gamechanger". PS4 sold a lot more before those reveals and it will sell a lot more afterwards. Please stop being excited. Mods please edit titles for the relevant threads.

Sony showed 3 true megatons.  Games that people thought would either never be developed or were vaporware.  PS4 is going to be the only home console to play Shenmue 3, TLG, SF5 (we already knew about this, but it was set in stone just before this E3), and, if the gaf insider is right, FF7 Remake.  A remake of the highest selling FF game ever.  Sure, it may not be exactly "game changing," but Sony doesn't need the game changed.  They were, however, megatons that will help increase the PS4's lead.

I'm sorry, but B/C does not compare to that.  Not in the least.  Unless you think Sony announcing B/C for PS3 at E2005 or Nintendo announcing B/C for Wii U at E3 2011 were megatons.  Cause I'll tell you, they weren't treated as such.  Now, all of a sudden MS is doing it almost 2 years after launch and it's "OMG, MEGATONZ!!" 

You are right that it is a nice feature (if they can get it working correctly and with many more games), but in the long run, it really changes nothing.  Someone who wants a PS4 more than a XBO won't be swayed by this.


Exactly, Sony doesnt need the game changed. This isnt going to change sales for Sony, so theres (by your own logic) no reason to call them megatons (let alone "true" megatons LOL), no reason to be excited about them, theyre no big deal. Thanka for confirming this for us. Again, please dont be excited. I have no interest in watching you move the goal posts to defend your double standard, have fun.
