If PS5 and "Xbox Two" get full BC, of course many of them will do that.
And that is a good thing for several parties:
- enthusiasts can upgrade to a new $499 PS5/Xbox Two for about $200 - $300 without losing access to their old games (that can increase the demand for the new consoles)
- late adopters can get some sweet deals for a used PS4 Pro / Xbox One X ($200 - $300 depending on the model and condition)
- less new PS4 and Xbox One X consoles have to be produced after their successors' launch -> good for the environment
It would only hurt the post-launch PS4 and Xbox One sales a bit, but since the money is made with software and not with aged hardware, Sony and Microsoft probably won't mind.
