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. 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 Nope. You have several examples that directly contradict the entire point of stating such a feature is "big".ĭid 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.
BATTLEFIELD 1943 BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE INSTALL
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? 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. 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. 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. 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. What I personally like about it is again irrelevant and doesn't really have much to do with what I'm stating. 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. Hard to say something is "big" when platforms without it are breaking records bud, but I'll save it until I hear what you mean by that as assumptions of what you mean are not really fair.
BATTLEFIELD 1943 BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE PS4
PS4 has no BC.you can't put anything from any previous gen inside a PS4 and have it work in any respect.įastest selling console of all time, breaking records that PS2 established. Wii was the best selling platform last gen, Wii U has native BC to Wii since day 1, where are those mega um "big" sales? Big? Depends on what your definition of "big" is. Popular? Sure.subjective and I can see how it is. The irony is just too much lolz! We've seen both scenarios to prove having BC hasn't actually had some dramatic effect on consumers.
Thus.BC has not actually proven to make the majority buy a platform, from the best of the last gen, from the worst of the last gen.its actually never added a platforms success. Wii.best selling Nintendo console, had BC of at the time the worst selling Nintendo console Gamecube. Wii U worst selling Nintendo console of all time, has BC from Wii, the best selling Nintendo console of all time. PS4 fastest selling console of all time.has no BC. A nice feature, but nothing I would solely buy a platform for.its not even in my bullet points of buying a new platform lolz. Ironically enough some of my most played platforms have been ones with BC, but I've never actually purchased a new platform just for BC. Popular, sure, I've yet to see it determine a platforms success.
