shyt is ridiculous, I'm giving them information straight from Microsoft themselves stating that backwards compatibility was something they were working on since development and that it wouldn't be possible without some level of hardware compatibility baked into the system.
But you have nikkas like
@Liquid and
@MeachTheMonster claiming I'm just a sony stan defending Sony and that its possible with the what they have currently.
I never said the ps3 was so much more complicated than the 360 and that it's not possible, the 360 wouldn't have been possible either without Microsoft taking the steps they took during development to make it happen.
They seem to have some elementary understanding of the topic as evidenced by the constant red herring fallacies e.g. "You console clowns,", "You loyal sheep" et al. and general low quality posts dismissing anything technical. His posts reflect someone of poor comprehension who thinks being critical and negative=enlightened.
The first issue is Sony didn't come out and say they can't do it due to X and Y, actual developers, tech heads and people in the know have stated so. Him saying people "believe" Sony is dumb because it's not Sony who said anything about not being able to emulate PS3 on PS4, actual devs just mention the tasks and people extrapolated from that.
In short, there are technical reasons
and business reasons. Claiming it's simply business reasons and that the technical reasons given to you by the same people who you champion and reference whenever Xbox is doing something you find impressive is a clear case of bias and cognitive dissonance. You can't trust DF when it comes to Xbox X doing good shyt but try to ignore them and not extrapolate the info in regards to PS4 BC for PS3. We KNOW Sony is in the business of recharging you for old games and honestly there's no financial incentive for them to do so right now. Xbox had to do so because they had no real advantages right now and it's evident in the almost 3:1 sales PS4 has over Xbox.
I guess when I say "they weren't sure about" this is what I mean, they wanted to do always online, sharing games with up to X amount of people and bc" but after the whole mess they weren't sure how it tackle it. I do remember them saying that they didn't think they could pull off BC though, I always preached about how always online wasn't a big deal especially if it meant I got to share games with other friends or access to old games. MS really was just a bit to ahead of its time then and the rubbed a lot of people the wrong way with those snobby comments.
But here we are in 2018 basically always online and or about to be ok with checking in every X amount of hours or days to play certain games.
It said you have to be online all the time to even play games offline. The point of contention is not how much time you're online but in the off chance that you're without internet for a while due to something like a storm knocking out your internet connection or if you're plain old out of the country in an area where you're without Internet for a while.
I was in Haiti over the summer and my cousin brought a XB1S for his folks and there was no internet connection there while we were there because the router they had wasn't working correctly for some reason. Imagine 2013 Xbox not even letting you play anything because it's offline. It'd be a deal breaker. It doesn't matter if 95% of the time I'm online, the 5% when I'm not I don't want to be stuck.
