Who cares who sells the most? It's PROFIT that matters.

@Vaio, I could understand not caring if you've already got a ton of dvd players, I however definitely do not :P We have one gorgeous TV, and all of our Playstations have been backwards compatible, so theres no real reason to have the older consoles sitting around. It makes everything hundreds of times more simplistic, I don't have a jungle of wires behind my tv, I don't have to constantly switch tv and receiver inputs, I get to free up a ton of room on my electrical sockets. I mean seriously as petty as it sounds, the Wii not playing DVD's is almost a deal breaker, I demand simplicity in my entertainment experience and having clutter just royally bothers me. Plus in the PS3's case, not only does it play DVD's, but it up-scales them amazingly. I have 0 reason to keep crap around that I'm not going to use :/

That´s great that it makes your life easier but the majoroty of gamers don´t care about thoose features but I understand your situation and why it would be a deal breaker. For me I went for a long time and was annoyed that I couldn´t play my old games on my new Nintendo system and were very Impressed by Sony(yes i said impressed and Sony in the same sentece, even if I hate Sony the company not PS I still have to give them credit for the good things they have done) when they made the PS 2 and Included BC and was hoping that Nintendo was taking notes about that and when they went with discs I was thinking that if they are not BC after GC it would be a dealbreaker for me. We all have something that counts more to us but again in this case the majority of gamers don´t care about BC while for me it´s become one of the most important features of a great console.
