The Series S selling well is irrelevant to my personal opinion. I view BC as a different animal. I bought a ps4 to buy Bloodborne, the ps5 (years later) being able to play Bloodborne doesn't change much. BC is a great addition, but I am not buying hardware to play old games. All I can tell you is I bought a Switch for Mario Odyssey, a ps5 for Demon Remake + Ratchet. Without exclusives I wouldn't have bought the hardware. I plan on getting an xbox, once there is a great exclusive I want to play. There is a reason why xbox is the only next generation console I haven't bought yet. If we include old libraries as part of what makes a console great, then the Wii U is one of the greatest ever. It plays Wii U, Wii, N64, SNES and NES. Via support on the Wii VC Channel is also plays Genesis and Turbo games. I just don't see it that way, but too each their own. Look at it this way. I bought a ps5 for Ratchet/Demon.... why would I run out and buy an Xbox to play Elden when my ps5 already plays it? |
I think I misunderstood your statement, I read it as truth about the market, not a personal opinion, my bad. About Wii U, I think the vision of BC is a bit different than being able to emulate past consoles. I mean, there is a distinction between the carrying our games and play them in another hardware (DS to 3DS) and playing the games again as long you pay for them (Wii U for Switch). It's something you can do on PC, because the softwares are attaches to your account, but it's harder on consoles because of the digital media, although now at least digital games have no reason to not be carried one generation to another unless of course it has some hardware dependencies |
No worries, it was a good disussion. And fair point about BC versus having to buy (again) old games. I have lost count how many times I have bought the original Zelda.
