That's going to be an unpopular decision. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
Yeah, it takes away another incentive to migrate. I don't want to ditch my old games or re-buy them, and I've got most things I need right now. - Jennifer Dittrich
The PS3 is doing just fine even though it's not compatible with PS2. - Tudor Bosman
That's cause we're already like a decade removed from the PS2's heyday. When the original PS3 launched it did have PS2 game support. It wasn't until later that they removed it. I still have that original model. Actually now that I think about it I'm kinda surprised it hadn't died yet. - ronin
But theoretically later adopters would also have adopted the PS2 later, so they would have had a similar time gap between buying the two. I think the PS3 dropping backwards compatibility showed how little consumers care about that these days. - Andrew C (✓)
I guess I'm more irritated about the XBLA stuff, since it feels like 99% of the reasoning there is a plain old money grab. There'll be blah-blah about supporting old schema, but really? They just want you to relicense those games for your new machine. - Jennifer Dittrich
Another part of the PS2 thing, is that support was dropped along with price drops of both systems, and Sony still produces PS2's. PS2 sales were still leading "this" generation for a year or two. - Gimminy
Earlier versions of PS3 were compatible. I have the last of the 60GB PS3s that had hardware compatibility, the only thing it can't do is play games with specialized PS2 hardware. I had little interest in a box that mothballed my software investment. It's a mistake for $MS to drop compatibility right out of the box. - Tinfoil 2.0
The 360 was quasi backwards compatible with the original Xbox (some kind of custom per-game translation layer) for what ended up being a few hundred games. I suspect part of the difference in expectations is that you can still use your 360; it's not like phones where you really only expect to have one at a time. - Andrew C (✓) from Android
I'd like to see backwards compatibility purely because I've bought more games on the current gen consoles that I ever did on any previous ones. - Kol Tregaskes

"How fast does the Earth rotate?" http://feedly.com/k/10li3SK
That is the speed probably at the equator. At the poles, one is moving less swiftly. They do a good job of explaining why the daily rotation is actually 23.93 hours. - Joe Boone

It says the Xbox One will be "all-in-one" but all the promo pics I've seen so far have two boxes! #xboxreveal
Quantum Break looks the most interesting game for the Xbox One so far.
