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.
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.
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.
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.
Damn, thanks for the links. Soooooo keeping my old one.

A Holodeck? That'd be pretty cool... though extraordinarily expensive.
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.

*sigh* Sony.. The lack of backwards compatibility killed any chance I had of getting a Slim as well, and I thought the DSi not being able to play GBA games was bad. lol
Tell sony to stop downgrading their psp. it was fat and sturdy, then it was thin, chincy, and glossy in your hands, now its really small, very un-ergonomic and you can't use any sort of disks inside of it.
