There's no chance in hell that the next Nintendo system will be backwards compatible

It's a good thing a lot of the games can be played with just a Pro controller though, gives me hope.
Digitally it will. Why wouldn't it be? Most games don't even use the screen on the controller anyway. Sure If you want to play Zombie WiiU or whatever the fuck it's called, yeah, you might be hosed.

If live crowds are any indication, Evolution is just watering down the three guys in it at this point. The second hour has consistently had the highest viewership since DST anyway.
It seems like more they loss people from the usual 3rd hour drop plus the Memphis vs Oklahoma game went ovetime so that most likely did it.

You're giving Nintendo way too much credit, they're too lazy to even let you play wii games on the gamepad

Gotcha.
Well WII U compatibility won't be worth much, there's literally no games for it... it's not even a meme.
The only time I've ever found backwards compatibility useful is when the features of the machine still work and it isn't just holed off in its own little section.
Wii Mode is so horrible.

It's a convenience thing, but since I decided to keep all my old consoles and be all super trendy guy and have them all on display still I'm not bothered. I've decided to embrace my collection and buck the trend of the digital future.
Boxes for me.
Perhaps. I don't know what it will take for me to give them my dollars again.
PS3 didn't take off until after it axed its BC. The two lowest selling systems in the market right now are the Wii-U and Vita, both are BC, and the Wii-U has access to the entire Wii library which sold 100+ million systems. Yeah, 3DS is BC and is selling like hotcakes but that's a Nintendo handheld. They've had an iron grip on that market for years.
There's actually enough to make buying one worth it IMO. NSMBU, 3D World, Wind Waker, Wonderful 101, Pikmin, plus Bayonetta 2, Smash, and MK8 are coming. It's a complimentary system, not a primary.
Physical media > Digital media.

BC STILL MATTERS TO ME DAMMIT
I still bought a PS4 and Xbox One on launch. Regret both.

I don't regret too much buying a PS4 Day 1, but I could have easily waited until ~now to try and buy one. I get the impression that none of the developers were actually ready for the consoles to be released such are the state of the games that were released Day 1 and the amount of games delayed.
I have zero regrets about getting my PS4 as early as I did. If I waited until inFamous came out I would have been screwed because I still have yet to see any on a store shelf since I got mine. Plus the price on the PS4 wont be dropping at all for at least another year and a half.
I ran out of hdmi ports four devices ago though.

Yeah, that's my reasoning. If I want to just quickly pop in an old game, it is still a dumb hassle. I still like messing around in WWE 2K14 but I have to spend too much time hooking the 360 back up sometimes to care. BC also encourages me to still buy last-gen games because I feel like the company isn't just abandoning their legacy. Sony and MS follow the buzzards.
I have both my PS3 and PS4 plugged in. So if someone like me can do it I'm sure a bunch of hardcore gamers can.
Unless you don't have any room for both, then that would be an issue.
Or if you have all of your old systems plugged into one television..
Now that I think about it, I can see why certain people want bc.

No doubt I could have lived without a PS4. I could have been with PS3 for 2 more years with that PS+ library. At same time PS4 will probbaly be 399 for years to come so I didn't necessarily lose money.
I know people think PS3 looks like caca these days but alternate PC? Can't justify an upgrade JUST to play games. It be over 1000 bucks once it's all set and done.

The weird thing is that I know that if I didn't pick up either system already, I'd be sitting here constantly thinking about going and getting one. I hate that. Sometimes it's better to ease your mind with disappointment than wonder what could be.

I know 3 hours is way too long and that makes sense, but that last hour of Raw was severely down more than usual, like 600,000 people switched the show off. That's bad news for anyone in that hour that wasn't Cena.
That was Cesaro, Paige, RVD, and Rusev. Hope they don't react too badly to it.
