Would you buy a more expensive PS4 with BC and a Cell CPU?

The last time "millions" of people used BC on a previous PlayStation console was with the PS2. Sales of the PS3 soared when they axed BC to make it cheaper. 

 

BC never has been and will never be the deciding factor for why anyone buys a new console. And it's nowhere near as important as some might like to think. 

Don't take my word for it though. Let's see how much BC improves the sales of he xb1. 

Uh... safe bet millions of people played PS1 and/or PS2 games on PS3 thanks to the PSN store offering so many. Sony has even given them "free" to PS+ members.

BC has absolutely been a deciding factory when buying a console. You must know your statment was ignorant. The only debate is how much impact it has.

I'm not saying X1 is going to get a massive sales boost thanks to BC. I'm simply saying millions of people will use it. Especially if developers keep giving 360 games with new X1 games.

Hence, you only feel BC matters if it sells a ton of hardware. I'm simply saying BC is a great feature to have and millions will take advantage of it on X1.

Ignorant? That's taking it a tad too far now isn't it?

 

Anyways, because millions use something doesn't mean its a deciding factor with regard to their purchase decisions. That's what I am saying and I still stand by it. 

I strongly strongly doubt that the reason anyone purchases a next gen console is primarily or even substantially due to it's ability to play last gen games.
