What is more important: New large exclusive AAA-games or backward compatibility?

I want always new "AAA Games". 296 80.43%
 
Backward compatibility is... 34 9.24%
 
I can not decide. 10 2.72%
 
I only play small /minigames. 5 1.36%

That's a bad comparison because the development of an AAA game is much, much more resource-demanding than the development of backwards compatibility, especially when said backwards compability has already been developed for previous hardware and experience obtained from the process (in the case of Sony).

Anyway, I value backwards compatibility a lot, so taking into account the low quality of the comparison, I voted for backwards compatibility. In a sense, having backwards compatibility brings a lot of safety and convenience in regard to my ability to play the games I've paid for, and I value that safety a lot. I have a pretty long history as a PC gamer by now, and I've always taken backwards compatibility as granted. I also have pretty long history with Sony, which is why it's especially sad to see the non-existent state of backwards compatibility on PS4.

Not after seeing Microsofts conference no.

Microsoft had plenty of console exclusives. Just not a lot of AAA.

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.

Yes, i have seen it. Somehow funny and sad oO



Backwards compatibility is a nice perk but that's all.

I have never purchased a newer generation system to buy my older generation games on. I buy new systems to play new games.

Yes... Microsoft does a good job of accentuating their positives over their negatives. This e3 proved it. Where they lack internally on a aaa level they can easily invest in indies.

I would rather not choose and have both.

If the BC plays all games i prefer it over one AAA game, that isnt the case in this generation except the WiiU



New AAA games all the way. BC is cool and all but once the nostalgia trip rubs off it's straight back to the new modern blockbusters and masterpieces.

Honestly I'd be embarrassed if I was MS.  I can see Nintendo fans getting hype over Gamecube BC, but they'd be just as excited for Metroid or F-Zero, hell even Mario with Odyssey.  I shook my head when the crowd showed life for what Xbox used to be, rather than for what it is now.

New games. I have all the old consoles, I don't need BC.
