Backward compatibility is important and it is a trap, ask Microsoft about that regarding Windows.

Sony is trying to have both worlds, but it will cost them.

All that remains to be seen is how much that cost will turn out to be.

Backwards compatibility is not important.

It hasn't hurt the sales of PS3s or 360s. Hasn't boosted the sales of the Wii U. I think there is actual data out there that shows it was hardly used on the 360 hence they gave up.

It's a feature a small group of core gamers care for. The group that also keeps it's old consoles lying around.

To be fair, relatively not that many people had the 1st Xbox and games but rather just the PS2 instead.
