aaahahahaha! sure bro, that's not setting yourself up for 'failure' at all. What a silly thing to make the decision for you. 

Why is it silly? Series X will be fully backwards compatible with all the previous Xbox consoles. I just expect the same from Playstation 5. And it's a feature I'm really looking forward because I'm tired of having to set up 15, 20 or 25 year old systems every time I want to replay a classic (and I tend to that a lot: I love replaying old games). Needing only one console connected in the room in order to play any game I want is something that really appeals to me. Especially in the case of Sony, because unlike Xbox, there are tons of PS1 and PS2 games I love with all my heart and I replay every now and then.

So, that feature alone would make me buy a PS5 instantly. If it doesn't have that, I see no reason to get a PS5. Simply because since the PS3 days, pretty much all the series I care about that were on Playstation became multiplatform. And Sony changed drammatically the kind of games they make themselves. Nowadays they are mostly western, adult, mature-story driven titles that I personally just don't enjoy at all. Sure, there is the occasional Gravity Rush, Astro Bot and Ratchet and Clank... but that is not enough for me. And since I feel mostly the same way about Microsoft... backwards compatibility is a decisive factor for me.

Since the games you loved on PS1 and PS2 weren't available on Xbox how would buying XSX help you on that effort?

Also are you aware that for xbox games it isn't just a question of picking any disc and putting into XSX and it will play right?
