Console Wishlist
I just got a hold of a bunch of contact numbers and mailing lists from Nintendo and Sony.
I made this thread for us to share and exchange new ideas for future consoles, what we want to see in the next-gen of consoles.
Feel free to share your opinions. I will compile the wishlists and send them to Sony and Nintendo.
If you want, I can also send you the contacts through PM.
Well, I ofcourse love backwards compatibility with the old shit that I have. If Sony ever (you never know) decides to only play current games and leave PS2/3 games in the dust, that would piss me off. Though there's no reason why they wouldn't get rid of that, just hoping they never make a dumb decision like that.

they did that with the ps3 slim. it's not backwards compatible at all, unless sony have since gone back on their word.

Why not PS1 games?yes i still own them.
Also! I still have a ton, and although I've yet come across a PS1 game my PS3 doesn't want to play, I'd want that in any future Sony consoles.

What?! Seriously?? They only play PS3 games? Sucks balls right there. I was thinking of trading up, nevermind now.

i read an article a while back where a sony spokesperson said that they believed ps3 had a decent enough library by now, so backwards compatibility was no longer a requirement.
which is bollocks, tbh. one of the main draws for buying a ps3 for me was being able to play my ps2 and ps1 games on the thing. i'm not buying one now.

Damn. I need to verify this for sure. You should track down one of the older ones.

Unless of course you can manage to find one of the earlier models of the 60 gig's.
I have one those currently, it plays all my PS2 games, so far all of my PS1 games too. I saw the slim PS3 and thought maybe I'd get it since it's smaller and takes up less space. Wouldn't be a burden to carry it around to a friend's house too, but I guess not.

wish i could get one of those... 🙁
A Holodeck? That'd be pretty cool... though extraordinarily expensive.

The first lot of 60 gig PS3s had the ps2 emulation and then after they for some stupid readon Sony did'nt bother about putting it into the later models.
Monetary reasons. Since PS3 sales did so poorly in the beginning, and due to the deteriorating economic condition Sony was loosing too much money to keep the PS3 in production as is, something had to go, and since Backwards compatibility was really the only expendable feature on the PS3, it was kicked to cut down on costs... or at least that's Sony's story.

Pr's correct. Sony removed backwards compatibility for PS2 on the new PS3 slim. Meh, it hasn't really affected me at all since my fatass PS2 is still working.
Though I agree with you. Backwards compatibility should not be removed in any future models. That would be a serious kick in the nuts to PlayStation fans.
EDIT: Never mind, he provided you with links.
