I think people should give up on Backwards Compatibility, at least with Sony and Microsoft. Microsoft only allowed certain Xbox games to by played on the 360, Sony flip flopped on different versions of their PS3 consoles on which ones were backwards compatible. This "through emulation" backwards compatibility sounds better than Xbox's no compatibility, but I think it's going to be in the same light that PS3 was. The only company that seems to embrace backwards compatibility openly is Nintendo, and I fear that is because they need sales. But as soon as you say that your console is backwards compatible it immediately devalues your old console exponentially. Microsoft and Sony want to keep selling PS3 and 360 well after the cycle. Theres no use in a devalued old console once the new console has all the titles that gamers want.

XBOX One just got PS3'd. Brutal, just brutal.
I was 360 all the way on the current gen, but they've lost me. I'm going back to the Playstation. |

I've never owned a PS. Don't have anything against them, but was just a user of the Xbox and the 360.
What has Microsoft done to garner any brand loyalty here? If you were/are a Microsoft supporter, what would you say to convince someone to buy that console?

That doesn't work either because everything currently in PSN only works on the Cell Processor. The PS4 won't support any of that unless it is in their streaming services.
