As someone who's been happy to ignore this generation step up (not really a leap is it), this whole backwards compatibility thing is a big seller for me. There's very little that excites me about the new gen so the ability to just fire up the older/better games on the same console is a big plus. With Batman, Just Cause 3 and a few others coming soon I do reckon early next year will be the time. Yes next year, as we all know that getting games early means you no longer get the full game. The industry seems determined to piss off the loyal gamer with pre-order bonuses, day one dlc and season pass nonsense. Be good to pick up a new X1 for £200 with Batman Arkham Knight "game of the year" complete edition next year.
I see Sony has refused to be drawn into the backwards compatibility issue. No wonder considering they're making money from re-selling old games to their loyal fans. Anyone would think this is all about money. If that were the case then all we'd see would be sequels and remakes on this generation.
