IF it has no BC, and it doesn't have the multiplayer functions that the 360 (and really every system should have) this current gen.. I would gladly have sacrificed the stupid ass bluray player (which I rarely ever take advantage of) if it meant that the system had more ram to have cross game chat, party system.. And kept the BC feature..
What if by some odd reason Sony will price it at 599 again? I mean I would be surprised at this idiotic move. But knowing Sony very well. There is a chance.
If they lock out used games mabey...but I doubt that is going to happen. For the most part the PS4 will be my go to system, followed by the Wii U because I love Nintendo's 1st party, I just hope they get strong 3rd party support this time and a good online network that let's you play online for free.
I have zero interest in the next Xbox, just like this gen (except for Witcher 2 and Gears, those games are good but not good enough to buy an Xbox for IMO).
If there's not enough genre variety, or too much emphasis on boring shooters and hack & slash games, or if there's poor quality control with extremely buggy games or a lot of games with terrible framerate issues. Those are some potential issues that would make me not want a PS4.
When I bought my PS3 slim I hadn't realised they'd taken the BC out. Frankly I felt like they cheated me.
I've seen a lot of speculation that they'll have to leave it out again, that they can't afford it. I think that'd be a massive mistake. PS3 has amassed such an epic library of content that they'd be fools to leave BC out this time. That should be one of the lures they use to win over converts. Buy a PS4, catch up on all the games you missed when you were stuck with MS/Nintendo/nothing. It worked for PS2.

I so agree. I use netflix, or stream HD movies a lot more than watch them on disc or blu ray. It just wasnt a necessity. Playing ME3 on 360 and I laugh at how people complain about disc swapping. I even dramatically act out how hard it is when my friends are in my room. Its such a non issue.
charging for online, focusing their system on a hand gesture/motion control device that makes you look like a joke, having no good exclusives other than a couple of shooter franchises(i hate shooters), needing me to pay to access netflix or other video streaming services wich i already pay for, changing the dualshock to a big bulky controller with a terrible d pad.
paid online, no wifi at launch, no HDMI port at launch, DVD storage medium, slide out disc tray, poor ventilation, high failure rate and did I mention paid online gaming ?
all those things would dissuade me from buying a PS4.
I won't buy the PS4 if the Wii U actually does get super strong 3rd party support including most multiplats. That means I won't have to rely on a multiplat sony machine like I did this gen to compensate.
I basically have two needs every gen
-Nintendo's phenominal first and second party games
-The phenominal games created by thrid party developers
If I can get both on one system, I'll only need to get that system
a) Not allowing playing of used games b) Paying for online c) More Online Pass BS Since none of that is likely, I might probably end up buying the PS4 sometime anyway.
[QUOTE="charizard1605"]a) Not allowing playing of used games b) Paying for online c) More Online Pass BS Since none of that is likely, I might probably end up buying the PS4 sometime anyway. The first two are unlikely, but the 3rd one is highly likely. You will either have A with no C, or No A with a definite C.

See, I'm okay with it as it is right now- okay I'm not, but my point is, as long as Sony does not MANDATE that every PS4 game have an Online Pass, and publishers do it voluntarily like they do now, I'll be okay with it.

Yeah that is very likely. I don't see how Sony could regulate the other companies with online passes. That's honestly all I want. I mean, I'd rather there be no online passes- but as long as we're getting them, I hope they're not mandatory.
That entire list (except the last, depending on what you believe) pretty much describes the Xbox 360 this generation, and it didn't stop me from getting and enjoying one for its other qualities.
