INORITE? I'm always really ticked off when companies decide to make consoles with barely any long-lasting games, and don't allow for any backwards compatibility. It's a really bogus marketing tactic that just makes the big, next-gen, revolutionary consoles less appealing. I mean, I bought an Xbox 360, and I like it, but I would have loved it even more if I could play Xbox games on it! That would mean if our old Xbox broke, I could still play stuff like Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, and my dad could continue to play Battlefront every day.

Heck, if you ask me, I think that it would be a better money-making move to have backwards compatibility for your consoles, because it sparks interest in buying older games for newer consoles. At least Nintendo has always been committed to backwards compatibility these days.
