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. 

In the context I used the word, it was fair.

I'm simply saying BC is a great feature to have especially at no extra cost. It will motivate some people to get a X1. Most notably, it will certaintly be a motivator for 360 fans to stay with Xbox.

It also gives the X1 a bigger library of games which is great. I bet retailers are going to make a section for 360 games compatible with X1. Retailers in the used game business have just benefitted greatly from X1 BC and will push it as a reason to get a X1.

BC is just a reason among others to get a X1.
