Default Sony Exec on Backwards Compatibility: Highly Requested, but Rarely Used

PlayStation 4 backwards compatibility support trails behind the Xbox One, and that isn't going to change any time soon: PS Europe boss Jim Ryan claims that nobody plays old games that much, despite the fact that gamers' requests suggest the opposite. Unlike the competition, Sony requires you to stream games via PlayStation Now or re-buy them in digital format. Do you think backwards compatibility is overrated? The PlayStation 4 does not offer the kind of backwards compatibility support that the Xbox One does, and it sounds like that won't change soon, if comments from a top exec are anything to go on. In a new interview, PlayStation Europe boss Jim Ryan said backwards compatibility is a much-requested, little-used feature. "When we've dabbled with backwards compatibility, I can say it is one of those features that is much requested, but not actually used much."
