@ProtossRushX: You're correct that it was being done by Sony and Nintendo well before Microsoft jumped in... but... that's why I phrased it as "restarting the backwards compatibility train."
Sony stopped BC with PS4. It sucked. I'm happy to see that Sony is following Microsoft's BC movement. It was a smart move for both.
Sony stopped BC not even half way of the PS3.
The only reason BC is a big deal is because of lemmings who cry BC is the be all end all of gaming,because lets face it they need it a win this gen and is about the only thing MS could deliver,fact is the highest rated xbox one games are 360 games not xbox one games,they have been abysmal on that from.
Why do i say this?
Because i know i was there in 2006 when the PS3 was BC with more than 7000 games from PS1 and PS2,and lemmings could not care less about BC,in fact the mantra around the internet for the first 2 or 3 years of the PS3 life was that the PS3 had no games.
When in reality it had PS3 ps2 and ps1 games biggest catalog of games for a single console ever,which MS try to imply recently with the seriesX and which is a lie as the series X is not BC with as many games as the PS3 was.
BC is a nice feature on launch if when few games are available and if you sold your PS4 or trade it in,2 years into the generation the PS4 was getting great games the xbox one was getting Red Dead Redemption from 360 which even spiked sales of the game for 360 and make it even chart.
That sad the xbox one was,something you will not find on xbox 360 if you look, at the same time frame back hell in 2007 Halo 3 hit,gears was already out,bioshock,ghost recond,oblivion,lost planet,saints row and many others.
