I don't have any stake in any of this thread's conversations but I'd like to correct the assertion that X360 wasn't BC. It very much supported software emulation of the original Xbox. Not all games were supported but the list was substantial enough to be considered decently BC at a minimum.

Will take your word on it =]

PS3 had BC (first HW and then emulated) and people happily traded it for lower cost.

There's a reason people 'happily traded it' for, but lower cost wasn't the reason. From the WSJ article:

"There’s a catch to the lower price: The new $399 PlayStation model will not play games designed for the PlayStation 2, Sony’s popular older game console. Mr. Tretton conceded that removing that capability, along with a few other features, isn’t dramatically reducing Sony’s cost of manufacturing the console but will instead encourage buyers of the entry-level PlayStation 3 to purchase more games designed specifically for the new system." 

And you though Sony was looking out for your bottom line.
