I understand where he is coming from with the controllers. Those mad catz arcade sticks are very expensive and i sure as hell don't want to buy another one for a new system.
As far as games go during the early part of a generation BC helps a lot. Many people are going to be playing GTA5 this fall. If the new systems aren't BC then when people are playing that game they won't be plugged into the ecosystem of the new consoles. If Sony and MS want to make sure their box is the central focus of your entertainment system they better make sure you don't have to turn it off in order to play the most popular games aka GTA, CoD, and Halo.
You putting way too much stock in GTA. Everyone stopped playing GTA4 2 weeks after it came out. Same with every other game that doesn't have a online component that is popular.
GTA4 online was anything but popular, except for hackers. Speaking of which, since PSN has no control over its online anymore
Imagine how fukked GTA5 will be over there

^^^ Just because a few days passes by doesn't mean this isn't reality for now on for PS3 gamers, cuz they can't stop it ^^^
Now if somebody buys a new system, GTA5 has nothing to do with that.
You tryna tell me somebody is gonna NOT buy a new system becasuse of GTA5
If not, what your trying to say doesn't make a hell of a lot of sense bruh bruh
