Ask me about my wife's perfect butthole
Sure the massive back catalog of generally compatible games is awesome, which is a direction consoles are going, but not quite there.The point of this post is, CAN YOU PLAY OLD GAMES, ON CURRENT SYSTEMS? Consoles had generation of upgrades. All on the OS part. PC didnt get that. Just windows upgrades, while supporting its old games. Let me Know when PS5 can play PS2 games like how pc does.
But we were talking about "needing next gen hardware"; your entire PC needs upgraded at times.. not just your GPU.. and if you don't upgrade your PC, well.. then it's not really a "current system".. so it's not much different than just having an old console.
But it's also not that difficult to just own old consoles; not as convenient, but I have a PS3 fat for instance.. and between that and PS5 I have 99% of all PS games covered.
