I don't know about that one because all the people I know who bought PS3s including myself did so for reason #1:Backwards compatibility. I've finished Parasite Eve 2 21 times and I still play it every now and then. I wouldn't want a system thats unable to play my old library of classics along with a couple nex-gen releases. There you have it.

Thats also why I can't understand why the PS3 80gb won't stay on store shelves. my cousin's been trying to get one but it is sold out again

Also, since you admit that many people bought the PS3 because of JRPGs, you also have to admit that any JRPG release on both PS3 and 360 would sell better on PS3 hands down. Kind of like how any FPS released on both systems would sell better on 360 even if the console userbases were equal.

In my country, there is NO BC option for PS3 purchases and hasn't been for months.

If you look at what I actually said, I said PS3 owners in general thought it would get all the good games. The JRPG comment was seperate. At this stage we have no proof either way about the PS3's ability to sell JRPG's.

All I know is the PS3 can't sell them if developers arn't making them for the system.

 

Sony had better fix that. In my opimion, BC is the biggest issue slowing PS3 down (not a late MGS4 bundle or price) because many gamers want to retain the ability to play their old games. BC has always propelled the playstation brand name forward and is also the reason many gamers didn't even look anywhere else despite the superior game line up on 360. M$ blundered big time when they said that people don't want to play old games. Why else would Konami be able to release essentials collections without worrying that gamers would have moved on? on a side note, MGS1 is still awesome even by todays standards!

 

 Ummm...did you mean Sony? Sony really screwed up by doing that. PS3 sales in Japan dropped like a rock after the 20/60gb BC PS3's were discontinued.(leaving only the non-BC 40gb) MS still has their incomplete BC on the 360, but most of their popular Xbox 1 games are playable(as long as you have the hd). 

Definitely true
