Im not arguing its not possible, Im arguing Sony doesent care to add BC because they simply dont care. Youre right, Sony is driven on profits not fan requests.

MS could have brought BC ealier? Was the emulator ready before 2015?

Sony could be bringing good games to PS4. But they simply arent ready. It takes years to do that apparently.

'simply dont care' yes because it's easy to pin down decisions buy billion dollar conglomerates to 'don't care' You come off as really irrational.

Every company is driven off making money, you're smart enough to know that. Microsoft now is what sony were last gen.
Free online, ps plus free games etc.
Because they were the underdogs. Now MS are the underdogs....SURPRISE :O
EA Access free games, BackCompat

it's business at the end of the day, user retention, install base etc. and doesn't boil down to whether a company is 'lazy' or 'doesnt care'.

Yes, they could've, if they really wanted to. But they need people buying the consoles at this point moreso than the software, so they pile on the value-added services. A company as smart as microsoft could figure it out in a matter of days, it's their own effing hardware, if anyone knows it, they do.

Well the last line makes you look like a troll. Which is a shame as how you seemingly seem to come off as rational. Oh yeah how was the first 9 months for xbox one retail exclusives again? Oh yeah screamride, excellent game (psst not an exclusive)}
GG

Sony did free online because MS hadnt yet proven millions would pay for it. Sony released PS3 assuming it would be a success.

PS Plus on PS3 was nothing without free games. It was also the first step in charging for online play. Sony fans genuinely believed Sony would never charge for online play.

EA Access wasnt done as a move against Sony. EA wanted it on both platforms but Sony was probably afraid it would impact PS Now, PS Plus, etc. PS4 owners want EA Acess but Sony doesent.

Alot of people assume BC only happened because Xbox One is the underdog. But it could have happened regardless. With BC MS can also make money selling 360 games on X1. Sony made PS Now to make money on PS3 games.

The last line is my personal disappointment with PS4. Im literally waiting for good exclusives on PS4 that isnt more Dark Souls. I will buy a PS4 probably early next year.
