why not? lets just don't care about players and sell consoles full of DRM and never care about previous console lines,
also, lets make a remake of every game available to the previous console and sell it as a new title
That is how sony and microsoft works, people still think that it's a hardware restriction, it's not, it all comes down to money, why let us play our previous games on a new system when it's easier to lock it out and recharge us again (hd remasters and remakes and recently the ps now)
Seems to me that it's a bad idea for the Wii U to be backwards compatible with Wii games.
I doubt Xbox1 and PS4 are backwards compatible.
Seems like it ties you to the past, restricting the future.
For nintendo it's a kind of insurance, if there are not enough wii u games to play, they can always fall back on the bc, nintendo were very generous adding wii bc, no other company does that now, when the original wii stops being available people are going to turn to a wii u to play wii games and the added bonus of playing wii u games too, it's good thinking from nintendo.
