All this will do is drive people to iPhone/iPad where DD apps are guaranteed to always work and always carry over.
Console gamers who want console games are not going to suddenly run to the iphone/ipad for their gaming fix
Why do people think Wiiware/VC titles won't transfer over?
We already know Nintendo is open about transferring digital content to new generation systems.
No. I look at these DD games as rentals anyway.
I'm pretty sure Wiiware won't transfer as they won't even transfer to a new Wii right now.
This. 80odd XBLA/indie titles, like 6 OG Xbox titles, and another 4 GoD 360 games. A similar story on my Station. They can eat shit if they think I'm starting from scratch.I have over 100 games on my Xbox 360, indie and XBLA. I have close to that on my PS3. I have a shit-ton on my Wii as well.
There's gonna be issues for me if they don't.
never done it myself, but i want tho say this is incorrect based on posts ive read around here.
You can play some games on PSP, Vita and PS3. Why on earth do you think PSN would be the only one not doing it? If anything, XBLA is still a question mark since there's only Xbox 360 so we haven't seen how they'll handle XBLA stuff on other platforms.XBLA? Yes.
Wiiware? Maybe.
PSN? No.
How is it badly handled? There are some compatibility issues with some PSP games (which they are constantly working on) and they still haven't added PS1 emulation (which is confirmed to be coming soon) but that's only an issue FOR NOW, in the long run you'll still be able to play PSP Minis, PSP games & PS1 games you've purchased (digitally).i want it, but look how bad sony is handling it on Vita.
Because the architecture is, from what we know, so different between PS3 & PS4.You can play some games on PSP, Vita and PS3. Why on earth do you think PSN would be the only one not doing it?

Apple already nailed this issue. Wish more companies would be like them.
As long as they still work on the original console after the servers go down, I don't care. If it means we don't have 600 dollar PS3s that's fine. BC really isn't that important to me.
