The PS4 doesn't need backwards compatibility. PlayStation actually has appealing exclusives, and a good quantity at that. Microsoft rolled out their compatibility feature to backfill their lack of exclusives, if backwards compatibility was a such a great benefit - then Xbox One would have covered some lost ground with it. But they haven't and PS4 still outsells the X1 two to one, with the Switch coming right up on their meager 35 Million unit average from being on the market for 5 years.
