I'm more concerned that 43.9% of people didn't even use the console to play games.

I suspect publishers aren't very interested in PS2 BC because demand isn't great, but it does have about 50 games. People really wanted PS3 BC and for what its worth PS Now has solid software support.

People asked about BC and Sony's answer is officially PS Now. So hey, you can argue with me but that's their answer.

Again, the official Sony website uses PS Now as their solution to BC. You can argue its not BC, but its their solution to BC.

Rare Replay is a lot of BC content and it sold quite well. Many X1 users have 360 content already. Furthermore, X1 users with Gold are getting free 360 games that work on X1. So hey, the math says million are likely using the service even if its not for many hours.

So you think publishers allowing their games on PS Now means success? Oh, I doubt that. Given the many changes that has occured it looks like Sony is struggling to get PS Now off the ground. It only supports PS4 and PC now by the way.

Oh hey, look what I just found.

Now over 300 back compat titles. Nearly 50% of XB1 owners playing BC games is great to see. Thanks for supporting the program.

The reality is that Jim Ryan is still wrong...dead wrong, read below:

Also to add to this is The Last Guardian and Final Fantasy remake was what some claim won Sony the conference.

Only the TLG turned out to be meh in the end and the Final Fantasy JUST BEGAN DEVELOPMENT TWO YEARS LATER!!!

Man people are reaching straws.

Also add this to Jim Ryan being wrong :)

I can't keep up with new game releases. Only when a great remaster like Windwaker HD comes out I'll revisit a dusty old game. It's different on PC. When I was still gaming on PC, sure I checked out how a bunch of games looked on a shiny new gpu all maxed out. Apart from Half-Life 2 and fsx I didn't replay any of them though.

BC is a nice to have yet I'm happy to buy the Wipeout Omega collection with improved visuals and performance plus access to the 2048 tracks. Even with all that I don't expect to spend too much time on it until a VR mode comes out. Soo much to play, even gaming 2-3 hours a night, no time for old games.

Don't worry. I know what Jim said was retarded. 

What I do find funny is people are not reading the data properly. It's not percentage of users but percentage of time. 1.5% is actually not a bad figure. 

And people bitching about paying for games you already own. If you seriously want to play your last gen games, why would you even sell your 360 or PS3. Guess what, I want to play PS3 games on the odd occasion so I kept my PS3. Simple! 

I mainly bought xbox live gold because of the bonus games per month but have let my xbox live gold account lapse for about a month while I wait for a good price or bonus games I really want. I play 360 games on my xbox one quite a lot. Maybe this is because when xbox live gold lapses you can still play your 360 download games but not your xbox one download games so at the moment I'm restricted with regard xbox one titles that I have purchased at retail plus the 1 game (Elite Dangerous) that I have bought online that isn't a monthly bonus game.

I like to revisit games quite a lot rather than play a game to completion one at a time. I tend to play a game and get bored of it before completion and then move onto something else and come back later to it.

So having options is bad now? Strange thread.

The console that basically requires xbl must have a pretty small demographic of offline users.
