Only game resellers (and players) would benefit from that.
For them it would be triple negative: Eat sales of new games, would lessen the buying of the re-releases of the old games and would directly cost them money in making the hardware BC.

Virtually EVERY piece of new gaming hardware is sold at a loss. I believe the Wii was the very first mainstream console to be sold at profit from day one.

It would encourage more people to upgrade, as they wouldn't be competing against themselves.

I like how neither system will be "backwards compatible" yet you will be able and encouraged to buy games digitally from the ps3/360 era or older , whats the difference of my buying a digital copy or using a physical copy i allready own
