Too bad PS4 has no backward compatibility like Xbox One. I hope future PS console will be backward compatible, we are losing great games and money every time we go thru a new console cycle (not applicable to Xbox One obviously...).
Some people may argue that we can still play on the old console for the classic, the problem is old console may stop working one day, worn down controllers, connectivity issue with future TV etc.
Current gen game also have some new problem, where games needs to connect to online server just to start game (e.g. Garden Warfare 2), this game will not run when your internet is temporarily down, the publisher server down or worst of all the publisher stop the server after a few years
Some of our current gen games may not run in the next gen/future if the game require online server authentication.
Then you'll have to prepared to pay the monetary price for that. And not just you, the entire gaming community has to pay the price. You're asking dev kits, all associated hardware and so on to be future-proof. Nice to have, not a must have.Some people may argue that we can still play on the old console for the classic, the problem is old console may stop working one day, worn down controllers, connectivity issue with future TV etc.
