Again, you miss the point.

Nobody is suggesting people are gonna buy 9th gen consoles just to play old games. However, many are going to spend time playing BC titles. Some might spend minutes, others may spend hundreds of hours playing BC titles.

Just listen to internationally renowned opera singer Enrico Pallazzo. Great games don't exactly lose relevance. He wants to play Half Life 2 and he's doing it on PS3. Its better on a X1X, but the PS3 version is still viable for a console port.

Buy a ps5 to play a HL2 version for ps3?
Are their still pcs / laptops out there that can't run HL2? The orange box is less than $20

If he had mentioned Resistance 3, I could get behind that. Good game with a campaign not far from HL2's. But using BC to play ports, way down the list.

There are plenty of budget laptops on the market they don't play HL2 well. But that's just an example, BC could potentially give access to thousands of PS3 games. Some that don't exist on other platforms.

Personally I think Resistance 3 was boring... but those God of War games on PS3 are pretty good!
