Well that's a silly question. Obviously new games are preferred...but that doesn't take anything away from the merits of backwards compatibility.
Personally, though I understand why it isn't practical, I'd love to see more systems with BC. I like to consolidate platforms under my TV, remove the need for excess systems. Also gives me more motivation to play older games, which I honestly still enjoy. I still have a hefty backlog of DS games, for example, and so it's nice not having to dig up my old DS anytime I want to play them.

Depends on what the new game is. If the new game isn't good or isn't in the genre I care about then bc. However, if it something I care about I want the new game.
AAA gaming is overrated. Now that I said that I do prefer new games over Backwards compatibility. BC is something I use when I find a game I never got to play or a way to fill in software drought.
I see BC as a nice Quality of Life feature rather than a system seller. (Unless I never had the old system to begin with. )

Yeah, like it's somehow one or the other 
The reaction Microsoft got from the Xbox fans was louder than any other reaction of the night. The og Xbox lineup was not that good.

Not after seeing Microsofts conference no.
Why not both?.
I enjoy having both, I don't why having both cannot be had. If anything I'm starting to see arguments being made for abandoning games once you've played them, rather than wanting to be able to play your games years later and keeping your library unified.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
