The PS4 really should have backwards compatibility!

If there really were million valuating BC the sales of PS3 and X1 should have seem a more noticeable impact

Who was to say that the millions of initial console sales weren't influenced by Backwards Compatibility? I am not saying that they had a direct relationship, just an influence.

I know when the Playstation 2 came along, my parents were deciding on getting it because it could play PS1 games.
I never played on it though, I was strictly PC gaming at the time and went with the OG Xbox for it's Pixel Shader effects.

Besides, it took a long time for Sony to remove backwards compat, they even opted for software-based approaches as they eliminated hardware ones in a quest to reduce costs.

Details?

That the winner of a generation is because of backwards compatibility?
Correlation doesn't equate to causation.

X1 and X1X got BC (for over a year) and the needle didn't move as well. You are acting just as Liquid Laser on supposing there is this big market on consoles where BC is a very important aspect.

BC is a convinience, but so far haven't ever be really major. Most people go there and buy less than 10 games on a full generation, still probably almost a million end up buying 100 games... the market still focus more on the other 99% of the market.

I always said "correlate".  I never said "cause".

During this gen more people have turn vegetarian or vegan... there is a strong correlation between PS4 and veganism... this is how you sound.
