Hey, I think a lot of people in the Sony fan would prefer you not speak for them. Limited BC is better than what PS4 has now... PS Now and remasters. Neither fo which allow you to play games you already own.

It doesn't matter if BC draws people to a platform. God forbid Sony do a little fan service.

So says the xbox fan who thinks it would be awesome for PS4 owners to have just PS3 BC on the PS4. PS Now and remasters are optiional. It's not how it was with MS trying to force gamers to buy into the whole kinect at the beginning of this gen. We don't need BC. PS2's are BC with PS1. The 80gb/ 4 usb model PS3s are BC with the PS2 and PS1. Many of the long time PS owners own those consoles. So BC is pointless for them.

Gamers finally converting over to sony have many options to choose from to play the older games. The PSN store, PS now, remasters and of course, buying the old hardware and copies of games (it's expensive and I don't recommend doing that unless you can get a really good deal). All of those are optional. 

Hey, I'm simply saying having the option to use PS3 games you own either physically or digitally would be a nice feature on PS4. This shouldn't even be a debate. I have a large collection of PS3 games that I have yet to play, it would be great if atleast some of the notable games were PS4 compatible. The X1 BC doesn't support every game and never will, but most importantly it will support many notable games.

Some people use PS Now on their PS4. But a great emulator like X1 has for 360 games is a better option, especially if you can use games you already own.

However, I don't blame Sony for not offering a PS3 emulator because they used a very powerful CPU on that console. The Xbox 360 CPU was less powerful thus easier to emulate.
