I doubt it, maybe initially you'll have a few crossgen games(the CODs, FIFAs etc).
Spoken like a console-only gamer? While consoles still endure existence, they aren't going to be doing any more resets.
The old consoles won't be able to read next gen's BDXL discs, so how could this possibly work?
How did it turn out?You all believed the Scorpio was going to be a bridging console between this gen and the next and look how that turned out.
Remind me. Why would anyone want this?
Man, I surely hope not.
I'm already pissed at those tflops in the XBOXOX being basically only good for running​ the same games as Xbox one in 4k.
There will be a generational cutoff with PS5/XB2. The CPUs in the current gen boxes are so old that I can't see either manufacturer demand devs to spec for those in 2020 and beyond.
This would create an incredibly confusing situation for consumers.I think devs will have the option. So maybe next gen GTA targets PS5 only, next gen Final Fantasy hits PS5 and PS4 Pro, and next gen Atelier will target down to PS4.

A problem that I see is BDXL, price of a single disc is $10 (100Gb), compared to $1 for a BD (25Gb), a 50Gb BD disc costs about the same as a BDXL disc it seems.
So 2 things might happen, we'll use multiple 25Gb discs where necessary or we're jumping to BDXL and that most likely means +$10 price raise on games (finally, since it has been stagnant for years).
Sony makes/sells their own BD/BDXL discs so there's that, even 1080p games on XB1 are hitting 110Gb plus so the need to move to larger capacity might be become a must.

No. 100% no.
But the next Xbox 100% will play all BC 360, OG and Xbox One games.
Will PS5 play PS4 games? I doubt it.
Consoles have fairly conventional CPU/GPU architectures these days so the reasons for not offering BC to the PS4/XB1 would mostly be non-technical. i.e Why let people play their existing collection when you can sell it to them all again "remastered" or via cloud play.
This. MS wants "play anywhere" to basically be Steam. Sony wants to resell everything and force PS Now subscriptions....they don't "have" to do anything.
But I have more faith in Microsoft's system being backwards compatible than Sony's.

While I know it somewhat a bit of a national sport to slag on Sony right now with some of their messaging of late..
But I can't imagine they would be so daft as to not have BC out-of-the-box for PS4 -> PS5, surly?
That would be up there with 'always on' from MS.

Ps5 games should not work on PS4 . Hoping ps5 has BC for our current library , but no, I don't want old tech holding back new games .
Forward comparability people ?? Why? Wtf ?
That way IMO they really dont have to make slim versions of their next gen consoles. Just slim version of those 2
From what we can guess 2020+ games will have to run at ~2017 CPUs though.lolno
Good luck with 2020+ games supporting a 2013 CPU
That would hold games back a decade
These consoles are x86 architecture now. Unless they create custom hardware in future generations, there SHOULD always be BC.
Who is slagging? All I said was is that I doubt the PS5 will have PS4 BC.

No. They don't.
Most games will run only on PS5 or Nextbox.
Nobody wants old machines holding back the new ones too.
