Their is something I really want Sony and MS to start with and would mean a lot. Basically the ability to play every game that you bought on the next consoles atleast digitally. We are living in a world where is possible for PC's but now also with smartphones, it is time that consoles should follow. I only see a win-win situation and don't see why someone should be against it. Imagine if you buy a PS5 and you can play the games you bought on PS4 aswell for gamers it is great especially the ones that didn't own a PS4 and for Sony/publishers it would raise their income.

If sony would announce it today that I can buy digitally ps3 games and play them on PS4 I would go to the store and get a bunch of PSN cards to buy games. Sure I could buy a second hand 100 Euro PS3 but that is 100 euro lost for me and for Sony/Publishers.

This I agree with 100%.  Digital purchases should be carried over from console to console and just consider that part of the PSN or XBL service as a whole.  It boggles my mind how this has not happend, even if the physical disks cannot be played.  And even then, the X1 has shown how digital can be used to give value to old physical purchases as well.

 

I know it is all about the money, but the amount of support that would be gained from this could be much better long term IMO.  So much wasted potential.
