Only a small percentage of users use bc, but I still think it would be a big mistake for MS/Sony to make their next consoles non-bc.

Users have put lots of money into their digital ecosystems and they don't want to feel that they lose that investment when they go to the new console. Objectively they could still play those games on the old console, but lots of people have come to expect being able to use their digital stuff (especially phone apps) on a new device.
