How come playing X360 games is suddenly some huge deal in regards to sales? I understand why people on GAF are excited, but, hasn't like all research shown thus far concluded that a very small portion of users use their new consoles to play older games? B/C for X1 as part of package of other things, kinda like a total sum for momentum arguments, I can go with that, but just being able to go back and play Metal Gear Rising or Bioshock and Mass Effect games that I played years ago is going to make me pick a console over another?
Meh, I just don't see it. It's games you already played, today's entertainment consumption is very much a society that views it as disposable. Further, as sales and new announcements of HD remasters keep coming, it's obvious people will buy games over again for superior better looking versions of the same content. Really not being salty either, Sony announces PS1/PS2/PSP B/C tomorrow including disc and it gets two thumbs up for me, but realistically, how much am I going to use it? Even if software emulation spruces up the titles visually, there's just some games I'm done with, or rather play on a smaller screen like Vita or DS for nostalgia. I think, at the end of the day, the games do the talking, and there's a lot of good stuff for both consoles since the bulk of the most popular titles are third party.
