So its not for you yet is for others

That's a cool story
But BC is important to myself and millions of others.

One of the PC's best features, play games from any gen.

you can try 'nd sweep it under the rug by bringing up sales figures. .

but it doesn't change the fact that PS4 fans would love it. The little BC PS4 does is behind a pay wall.
PS2 games and a Streaming service.

Edimax what heck are you on about son.

Go play the order or SFV since you seem to be so deep into PlayStation backside.

Ignored.

I've never stated anything about how I personally feel about BC in fact I stated that my most-played platforms have all had BC.

What I personally like about it is again irrelevant and doesn't really have much to do with what I'm stating. What I'm asking of you is to Define what they mean as big as to my understanding what I just stated about the PlayStation 4 and Wii U is literally the perfect example to show that such a feature is not a huge determining factor in terms of a platform sales ie big.

Of course having 2 consoles and 1 is a great thing how does that translate into sales? Popular, of course it's popular I'm not even debating that even slightly never did I say it's terrible bad or that no one wants to have two in one or anything of the sort what I'm stating is has it translated into actual sales? I'm not asking this as a consumer, I'm asking this simply as a businessman to Define what he stating as big as for a fact it's been shown the feature is not that wanted.

if you're having two platforms show you that one having it sold less than the one that didn't, it's telling you people primarily purchase new platforms specifically to play new content. The majority by no means are purchasing it simply because they can play the last platforms titles a 100 million install base is telling you so.

How much of that 100 million install base really is telling you that they appreciate that the Wii U can play Wii games? Do you really believe that the entire 12 million purchased it as the key feature of playing Wii games? So without that so wii u just would have sold nothing? Let's say half that's only 6 million, so 6 million care about this feature enough for it to have been the defining reason to purchase it?

I'm sorry but it's beyond hilarious. You have several examples that directly contradict the entire point of stating such a feature is "big".

Did the Wii having GameCube BC make it sell 100 million? If that's the case that the Wii's 100 million sell the Wii U? Don't you see how those contradict anyone's point of trying to make it sound like it's a major feature? LMFAO! This has nothing to do with whether I personally like it, once again of course it's a great feature what I'm stating it's simply on how the majority actually really feel about the feature in terms to purchasing power, nothing more so get out of your feelings folks lolz.

Yet right now the current fastest selling console of all time doesn't have said feature yet the worst selling Nintendo console of all time does...

Sure.

@PUMP- Nope. The only definitive thing that can prove the real popularity of a feature in such an industry is its translation into actual sales, I'm sorry but there isn't enough to really say it's a huge feature considering this current generation. The fastest selling platform right now doesn't have this feature that you're claiming is so "huge". I'm sure people love it heck I still use BC on my PlayStation 2 and Playstation 3, but I cannot say it's so huge that its defining purchasing power evident by this generation...

Also the relevance to a consumer talking about this is simply out of conversation to discuss it I'm pretty positive you could still talk about business while remaining a consumer but it doesn't need to be one way or the other I've stated specifically that this is in regards to business not how I personally feel about it.

Ugh I guess you could claim that argument but all you could hear at the beginning of last gen was that PS3 was bc. Then when it wasn't a feature anymore fans wanted nothing more than FF7 bc. I guess it's subjective then to which console were discussing.

Edmix ..
You can quote all the stats you want but you're just lying to yourself and everybody else if you wouldn't be excited if PS4 had One backwards compatibility and didn't charge you to repurchase games you already own for the PS3.

So just keep on trolling.

Trek- I think you actually need to fully read what was posted. Where on Earth did I state it was a bad thing? Where did I state I wasn't excited for it? Even in my post I stated most of the consoles I played had this feature. Lol

You might want to actually comprehend what you're reading bud.

What I'm saying is the majority do not care enough about this feature to make it the main purpose of them purchasing the console evident by the most successful console this gen not having the feature yet the worst selling console in Nintendo's history has this feature native.

That is like getting emotional and upset because I say most jrpgs won't sell Mega Millions. What part of that statement conveys I'm not excited for Jrpgs? This statement being made is specifically about business, nothing about how I personally feel about it. Like I stated in several post that's actually irrelevant.

Lol the reading comprehension of most of you guys is so terrible inside of my post I'm literally telling you that I understand it's popular I even stated who won't want 2 consoles and 1.

I never once stated it was a bad feature I'm merely telling you the exaggeration that it is selling the platform as a primary feature. If we're going to State the importance of the feature we need to have some sort of definitive proof with factual numbers that such a thing as indeed wanted by the majority of the install base enough to deem the purchase.

If I had it my way all platforms would have native BC to their previous. I'm not sure what else to tell you as it seems many of you guys have this idea that saying the majority do not care for such a feature, means I do not care for this feature lol.

Its once again irrelevant the raw numbers show you the exact examples of the situations where the feature was in a platform or not in the platform to essentially contradict that the majority really wanted it, clearly not enough.

Me telling you that no factual numbers really prove that is not the same as me stating that I don't want it, it's actually irrelevant if I want it or not I'm actually just telling you the numbers that support that it's not a main selling feature.
