A question to console owners

[RaNDM G]

I was planning to save up for a new PC. I'm not interested in the next console generation.

I don't need commatability for my next-gen systems because I have all of the consoles form last gen and this gen. What I need are games for the previous gens.

If it's backwards compatible, probably sell it. If it's not then keep it.

Same here, though I'm told the Wii U's E3 line-up was less than impressive, so whether or not I get one depends on how many games interest me by Christmas next year (the most likely time I'll be getting it). Then you have the rumors about the PS4 having no backwards compatibility and blocking pre-owned games; regardless of how unfounded they may be, they're still there.

We'll just have to wait and see.

Sure, I'll keep the old ones. I think I've still got the original boxes, in fact--when I get the new consoles, I'll dust off the old ones and pack them up. It's not like they take a whole lot of room.

Why not? The new ones may not be backwards-compatible, and I don't want to pay more for digital copies of games I've already bought.
