  1. 1. Has the lack of backward compatibility hurt your desire to buy a PS4 or Xbox One?

    • Absolutely, it's killed off all desire I had for either system

    • Yes, it's definitely made me put off buying either this year

    • Somewhat, I do have a lot invested in my current games
      32
    • Not really, I still would love to buy one or both systems

    • No, but I wasn't that interested in them in the first place

The PS4 will have some sort form of backwards compatibility through Cloud gaming or something. I'm holding my breath until we learn more about that before I really jump to any conclusion on this matter. I don't care that much though, I'm going to keep my PS3 anyway.

If Kingdom Hearts III is decidedly put on PS4 in place of PS3 then I'll consider saving up money for it, until then I don't plan on going out and buying a PS4 just for Versus or Kingdom Hearts. Instead I'll wait for Square to annonuce their "suprises" this year.

I am planning on getting the PS4 while keeping my PS3. PS4 will have some kind of backward compatibility through Gaikai cloud gaming, but I wouldn't count on the library of games being that great at launch. Maybe after a couple of years and Gaikai has my old games to play will I sell my PS3.

As a consumer I've accepted that I'm in the minority of people that would appreciate backwards compatibility. Due to the combination of price and quantity of quality titles I've yet to play this generation, I feel no urge to jump on board with the next. not when I still have to play Red Dead Redemption, FFXIII, Borderlands, 4 God of War games, the entire Metal Gear Solid series, and many more games I simply can't remember right now. I mean, KH 1.5 reMix is going to occupy my focus for a long time too!

 

If the console had backwards compatibility I might've been interested in upgrading sooner. I can probably wait until the first price drop of the PS4 before I spend any in the next generation.
