Can I use this?  

I would also like to add that I've played my PS4 an awful lot this past year. My PS3 went untouched pretty much until Metal Gear Solid 4. In short, I think the PS4's first year games have been a lot better than the PS3's, which points to a better generation so far imo

I would agree with that but Sony could do PS1 and PS2 BC but they don't because it's all about selling remasters and HD remakes.

At best, they should have sold an add-on module with the Cell/RSX system in it that connects to the PS4. The x86 architecture is fast enough to handle the subsystems necessary to emulate the PS3 properly, due to having 512MB of the memory it needs. 

Well, not just an overclocked GC. In terms of CPU/GPU it was the same architecture with 50% more speed, yeah. But technically, it also had more than twice as much RAM and support for full-sized discs, which solved two of the primary shortcomings of the GC. 

Wii's selling point was the gameplay though, not the graphics.

Imagine all the games being pushed back a year or so. Imagine the polish and extra time which was as we see needed for a bunch of these games. That's what should've happened. Sony rushed their system and MS reciprocated. We would've had way more launch games and the generation would be just starting. I think it would've been almost perfect.

Based on the amount of stuff Nintendo have lined up for this year, I feel like Big N was actually expecting the two of them to take the cue from their first year struggles and actually do that. 

You certainly make a lot of good points here. Though personally I like the Zelda art style. Also you say no backward compatibility, which definitely pissed me off with the other 2, but Nintendo has backward compatibility still, as well as free online, and their online is starting to get good now. My main complaint with Nintendo is how slow the games come, but they can only do so much. Meanwhile the other two have money and 3rd parties on their side yet they're still basically where Nintendo was in its first Wii U year. Even worse when just looking at first party. 7th gen there was very much a reason, countless reasons really, to own every system, even at this point in that gen. This gen is off to a much slower start, and thus far it feels like I've bought Nintendo for its first party and really only need one of the others, depending on which I think will have better potential, which at this point seems like PS4 but really neither are drawing me in with anything they have to offer. Just promises, and I don't have $400 to spend on promises at the moment. By the time the 8th gen is done though, I think we'll be pleased with it, it just won't beat the 7th gen for most people, or even the 6th. Maybe not even the 5th. Let's give the companies time to do their thing.

Didn't get the part where I said I loved it right? I don't care if you thought it was only okay, I thought it was great and that's all that matters. No game is perfect, they always have something to improve.

Yet, for ever 15 games released, if I like just 1 of those it is surely a success. Many might think so far this gen has sucked but there may be many who are enjoying themselfs with some really good creative games released in the last year and a half. I mean no matter how many issues Battlefield 4 had at release, there are people who probably still love it.

There are a couple reasons why I haven't jumped to this generation yet.

Yes, the games thus far haven't really impressed me, that combined with a hefty backlog from last gen is one reason. The only single game that really makes me want to jump to this gen is Mario Kart 8. This is the only game that I feel the need to play. The rest is just meh, I can totally wait a couple years to play what's best out of them. And let me stress it - I'm ignoring every single cross-gen game on previous gen consoles!

Second reason, just as important, is the price of games. PS3 games were more expensive than PC games, but the price was acceptable. PS4 games are so much more expensive though!! I can't justify the purchase of such expensive games. I can't see the value of these games meeting the price tag. And not only is the asking price increased, but we get bombarded with DLCs. This massive increase in price makes me think about switching to PC gaming more and more, especially since I have to buy a new PC this year. I have to think hard and do the math, cause a PC may mean some massive savings for me combined with better looking games.

The third reason is that I'm moving out now and have to renovate my new flat, so I can't spend much money on games Vita games costs me enough

I agree. So far this generation seems uninspired to me, specially related to software.  There´s nothing really new, nothing we already saw/experienced before. Just better graphics are not enough. We need new ideas, but those doesn´t seem to sell well so developers prefer to stick to old stuff and fill them with annoying microtransations.

The only device this generation that ´s bringing me constant joy is the 3DS, with its good cathalog of japanese games and weird but cool indie games.
