I feel like Sony is just making excuses. I remember them saying back when PS2 BC was removed from PS3 that nobody used it. I'm highly doubtful of this claim however, MS has said that alot of people used both original Xbox BC on 360 and 360 BC on XB1. Also, his example of Gran Turismo is terrible. Racing games are mostly identical except for graphics, of course people would gravitate toward the newer GT games. It's a different matter for other genres. Some genres like turn based RPG's are becoming increasingly rare nowadays, so BC is the best way to play those genres.

I fully agree with this. Also, it is kinda a bad sign, if a game isn't attractive anymore because it is old. In Gran Turismos case the newer version basically replace the older version. For your RPG-example: Old versions of Final Fantasy, Fire Emblem or Pokemon are still desirable, because new versions are no replacement for these. Sure, we all take the remakes with better graphics (these are the replacements), but if this doesn't exist, the old games are still played.
