I get that. They worked hard and made a good effort. Doesn't change that I can't play all my games. The Xbox One is not BC, it's compatible with select older games. It's not a replacement for an Xbox 360 for all users. It depends on their taste. I play a lot of non-mainstream titles myself.The XB1 and 360 had entirely different system architectures. Considering that, a ton of work went into getting 360 games to work on the XB1. The shift to x86 was supposed to make full BC a given, but I guess Sony is still having some issues.
I didn't mean to insult MS or downplay their efforts. I just think PlayStation gamers (big PS fan myself) should expect more than 25% of their PS4 games to be compatible with the PS5. It is a different situation now than it was with The One and 360. If the PS5 has a similar level of BC with PS4 as the Xbox One has with Xbox 360 games then that is borderline inexcusable to me.
Microsoft's efforts are not half-assed, the level of compatibility/end result/solution is.
