Can MS & Sony just simply make next gen fully BC?

Thanks for the reply. I think ps5 will absolutely have BC because they don't want to give MS a selling point over them. Does digital BC work the same as physical? As in Sony don't need to ask devs to allow us to play our digital ps4 games on ps5? 

 

I know it took lots of effort in the past but if ps5 runs the same x86 architecture as the ps4 won't it be quite easy? 

Here's an actual problem of consoles: Sony doesn't need to make them available to transfer between console generations to force you to buy them again if you want to play them on a PS5. I doubt they will do so, though.

Another question is if they will include BC at all as it's much more profitable not to and just resell or remaster them and then sell them at full price.
