Altough BC wasn't a very critical feature in the past for consoles, I think the paradigm has changed since last gen. The shift to digital libraries, which implies consumers heavily investing into a plataform's locked ecosystem, means they will be reasonably expecting the preservation and availability of such library when transitioning to the new iteration of hardware. Imagine buying an iPhone 15 and Apple telling you the apps you bought with your iPhone 14 are not supported anymore; unacceptable.
There's also the fact that after having it standard now on PS5 and Xbox, people will certainly be expecting the same when the PS6 and next MS console are announced. But the major factor here will always be hardware design, as implied in the poll.
I was shocked when they revealed PSVR2 lack of backwards compatibility. You're trying to sell a very expensive niche piece of hardware, with very little software available, while completely shitting on the people who invested into the previous version of it? Seriously? What a joke.
