      In company lingo, "feasible" just means "profitable". Yeah some guy in a basement did it, but it probably wasn't incredibly optimized for the platform. If software doesn't run great on your hardware, then there'd be no reason to market and sell it other than something like convenience. All because people can play Doom Eternal on a Samsung fridge doesn't mean people should or that Samsung should use it as a selling point.

      Like the dude said just emulate it on your own terms. For a company that’s too expensive in some cases. People bring up ps3 emulators working then shit talk Sony as if the ps4 could run them lmao. Modern PCs still struggle with some ps3 emulated games so no matter what some consoles just can’t go backwards. Plus less than 1% of the user base is gonna be emulating at any given time. It’s a neat feature but to a company it’s just useless. Ps4 and ps5 are pretty similar and have hugely shared fanbase since the games and diminish returns has kicked in there’s no huge graphical or hardware developmental difference like with the ps1-2-3 anymore.

      @@waled7564 Yeah, emulation is often the only way to truly play prior-gen games. Rarely can a new system natively play its last gen games. Going back to more than one gen is basically out of the question. When emulation is necessary it is far better, in most cases, to either play on the original system or use a PC with the horsepower to run the game well.

    Scott keeps reiterating, "Backwards compatibility is nice on the back of the box, not so much in gameplay" "Nobody cares about backwards compatibility" "All consoles which have backwards compatibility fails" and I'm like, WHAT!?
    Backwards compatibility has got to be, hands down, the best thing ever for consoles. I used and USE it all the time! I am not shitting you, we were a WiiU family. I played on Wii, all of my cousins had one, we didn't. When the WiiU came out, we instantly snagged one up, and I was playing all the best Wii hits along with all the new games. I still contest the WiiU was great. But I also can't tell you how many hours I spent on Wii Sports Resort. Some of my most cherished gaming memories wouldn't exist without backwards compatibility.
    Nostalgia aside, it's just amazing to have and NOT frivolous. I played tons, and I mean TONS of DS games on 3DS. Even to this day, I use my PS5 to play PS4 games. I won't accept this slander!

      @@lakitudude7577 None of what *you* said refutes *my* claim. Plus it does. I didn't directly say that backwards-compatible consoles sell well, yet the 3DS and PS5 are titanic examples. My argument is that backwards compatibility is a great selling point and is widely used. Scott claims backwards compatibility is rarely used. I never once even claimed it makes them sell better.
      But also, don't go there if you don't know what you're talking about. Scott may also partially wrong about this. I don't know if he despites backwards compatibility being a *reason* consoles sell well or if they sell well at all, yet still. But to reply to you, the WiiU is one of the worst performing mainstream consoles. Meanwhile:
      #1 PlayStation 2: >155 Million units sold. All/most units backwards compatible with PS1. An undeniable factor in its success, documented everywhere, not to mention the PS1's preexisting >100 million units.
      #2 Nintendo DS: 154 Million units. A lot of units were not backwards compatible, but the Game Boy Advance was so popular (80 million), Nintendo banked on it playing Game Boy Advance games in case it flopped.
      #4 Game Boy/GBC: Can't find specific numbers on each model, but arguably the Game Boy was *forwards* compatible with GBC games, lengthening its own lifespan and contributing to the success of GBC games, so it arguably counts at least a little.
      You can go down the list to find even more. 7 out of the 10 top selling systems had it, and most, including the No.1, was influential to its success. Backwards Compatibility might not guarantee success, but can bolster a well-known brand ten fold.
      Final (anecdotal) point: You assuming backwards compatibility has no correlation with success reeks of privilege. Most can't just buy the new consoles. Often, you sell your old one and games to buy a new one, with around only half the money you put in, ergo you lose all your old games and can only buy very few. Meanwhile, buying a console backwards compatible with your old one makes selling the old one carry no weight, and raising money to get the new one. You assuming it carries no correlation to success makes me think you never had to *make* that choice.

    so as someone that has done a lot with the ds I gotta add in that the 3ds family is TECHNICALLY also backwards compatible with the gba (so was the dsi actually but i couldn't access it) because the arm 9 processor of the gba is in the 3ds, since when you launch a ds game the 3ds actually relaunches into a modified ds mode using the actual ds processor, which because the ds had gba support, also has gba support, but the only games that ever used it officially were the 10 ambassador games, while some games have save issues due to the weird way it deals with roms a modded 3ds plays most gba games with no emulation probleme because it's not emulation, it's on the metal gba

      I don't think people realize that if they made more consoles backwards compatible how much it would increase cost. Emulation team takes countless hours and typically years before quality emulation starts to come about because how complex emulation is to develop. I'm a Software Dev/Security Analyst, the amount of time and effort it takes to reverse engineer something is absolutely staggering and most of the time, just isn't worth the effort. That same concept applies to major companies because they have to pay devs or buy licensing to third party emulators. Either way it would always increase the cost of the console so most opt out of wasting that time.

    • @Activated_Complex

      At some point, I mean, just re-release the console. Yeah, I know, piracy blah blah. It’s not like people don’t do that already on PC, if they’re so inclined. A new SKU of PS3 might not sell, since everything of note on that system is on newer hardware, but a reissue of the PS2 Slim could be cheap and a multi-million unit shifter.

      B) Legal side, companies are more at risk by selling it in a product! Free emulators usually have a lot of bugs, might not handle a lot of games and can be known to crash hardware etc... but it doesn't matter with those because they aren't a bought product and so dont have to work. A feature on console by law has to work and work well in a way a consumer can use without risk. Ofcourse it can have limited support but the support it has must pass quality control tests.
