In the end it’s only temporary. Xbox does have the upper hand long term. Right now it’s more in their interest to take the BC gaming preservation route because Sony has a bad service by comparison. BC is usually a requested feature in the first year until it dies off in the 2nd. We know Xbox is more powerful, MS will show it in due time. 

However PS5 will have close to 100% backward compatibility too according to Cerny, it's not like it's a xbox exclusive feature. And I'm not sure early adopters are much interested in backwards compatibility anyway. They're not buying a new console in the first few years to play old games at higher resolutions or frame rates. People that are willing to spend for those things are on pc already. At the end of the day, the console running the most visually impressive and generally better games will win, as always, regardless of native rendering resolution, frame rate and BC.

Well it’s Xbox and 360 in addition to Xbox One. BC spanning 3 gens is an exclusive feature that they are and should be pushing. Preservation of ones library and games legacy is something all gamers can get behind. 

There is demand. That ign survey of most requested PS5 features (bc). A lot of twitter comments, it’s not a niche request. People can buy a new console but still want to revisit games or play ones they haven’t got to. It could be the very simple logic that nobody really wants to go through the effort of hooking up a old console when one box can do it all. 

In the end, Xbox does have the power advantage. So Ms will play that card when they see fit.
