I see all around people worried about backward compatibility and used games blocking on the, still rumored, next gen consoles.

That is a very weird thing, sounds like a little kid living on allowance talking.

If you want to play next gen games, your last console will not break, it still exists, if you want to play the oldies, plug the old console.

IF, and only IF a console is backward compatible, ok, then you can use it, but if it ain´t, so what? It is the company prerrogative, if you don´t like it, DON´T BUY IT. Play your retro games and be happy. 

I will pay the higher price IF the next gen is mind blowing and amazing. If not, them I will play the oldies. But I don´t care about used games or Backward compatibility, I am not a little kid, life is too short. 

Gamers are spoiled and shallow individuals, any other aspect of life has it´s costs and disadvantages we don´t have in gaming: if you like luxury cars, you gotta pay 3 million dollars for a Ferrari and all the headaches that comes with it. Gamers can have the best of the best for a few hundred dollars and they are still miserable and angry. 
We NEED to finally grow up and understand how lucky we are. All other hobbies in the world demand a much higher entry fee, we got it easy living in this crazy virtual world games are giving us, but we still think all the companies are evil and mean.

We can be gamers, sure, but we cannot forget that WE NEED TO GROW UP and be adults as well.

Let us be one with the industry: If you love something, support it, people will have their jobs, stock holders will get their profit, everybody wins.

If you don´t like something, STAY AWAY of it. Don´t buy it, show your opinion with your wallet. 

And realise, no one have to give you free stuff, this is the real world, everything costs something in the real world.

However, being a GAMER is an amazing thing, no one else has this amazing oportunity we got, of living dozens of virtual lives during our own lives.

Many people trade in their old console for the new one. This is why they want Backwards Compatibility.

Point 1 - Backwards compatibility doesn't matter:

It doesn't matter to me because I keep all my systems. But it does matter to people who can't afford a new system and want to trade in their old one but not their games.

Point 2 - Used game sales should be banned:

We ALL have the right to do what we want with or property. When we pay for a game it becomes our property. We should not allow anyone to infringe on ownerships rights. We must fight back against greedy companies that think they continue to own games after we buy them and walk out of the store with them. Used sales exist in all markets and have been a part of the game industry since it's beginning. Used sales don't hurt anybody. Don't believe anything a game publisher says about used game sales.

Thanx.

agreed unless you're trading your system in, which is something i don't do because of the systems future value.

Np^^

maybe some people just don't want to have more than one console under their tv? not everyone thinks consoles look beautiful and not everyone wants to horde them in their livingroom to play different games they bought once. if you have a nice looking livingroom, console can look very misplaced in that. if i buy a ferrari i do that because i like ferraris, if i buy a console i do that to play games on it and not because i like the look of consoles so much.

people want to sell their old console to get a start capital for the new console. even 50 bucks can be much for some people, if a kid or an adult.

gaming isn't the hobby with the cheapest entry fee

but personally i absolutely don't care about backwards compatibility and yes gamers are very good in complaining a lot about their own hobby.

I have to agree with him about the backwards compatibility. While it is an amazing feature, the older consoles are still out there. The company isn't obligated to put in that feature in every one of their systems.
