Again, like I said, it helps with XBox's image and can also persuade someone who owns many 360 games to pick up an XB1 over a PS4.

You seem to have gotten carried away by forum wars such that you may not really have a grasp on what's important or not. 

I'm yet to see a single person buy a new console because it can let them play their old games. It's a nice feature to have, but nowhere near a deal maker or breaker. 

And just in case you didn't know it, the single biggest contributor to the legs of a console or what "persuades someone to pick up a console" is word of mouth and and social circles. 

People are more likely to get what their friends have. If more people have a PS4 then more people will get a PS4 cause no one ever recommends their friend to pick uo a console that's different from what they primarily play.
