And from those many very few will be buying their new console to play older games on it, crossgen sure they will play some (but the newer version) but very few will buy the new console to replay their old games.

Been following the debate, I’m just gonna throw out there people didn’t buy PS4 in the millions year 1 to play KZ Shadowfall and Knack. They bought the console for an investment in the new generation and to play the best versions of cross gen titles. BC tends to be a feature people want around launch period to ease themselves into the next gen/finish off unplayed games. 

But hey if that’s not your cup of tea you can wait for the first round of price cuts. That’s what I did for 360 and XB1. This time around I just don’t want to play the “poor mans” version of Halo Infinite. I imagine that mentality is felt by many others in regards to cross gen multiplats if they have the money to do something about it. 

Cross-gen releases and BC are two different things. Sure people buy a new console to play the better version of cross-gen titles. Heck I held off on GTA 5 because there was no chance it wasn't going to get a ps4 release (despite many people claiming it wouldn't). And I'm not going to buy Cyberpunk either for ps4, will wait until I have a ps5. Some other games did get free updates like Flower, nice to have but not what I bought a ps4 for.

Yet BC, didn't miss it. I'm not going to buy a ps5 looking forward to play ps3 games on it.
