[QUOTE="Foxi4, post: 4998402, member: 203855"] I don't think you understood their intention whatsoever, so I'll say what has been said a million times since the system's launch. Neither the Xbox 360 nor the PS3 are anywhere close to retiring - both systems received their budget iterations alongside the launch of their current generation siblings, the Xbox One and the PS4. If you have any interest in Xbox 360 and PS3 software, you just play them on those systems - they're going to be kept alive for the next 2 years at least and will become more and more affordable. The reasons why there is no backwards compatibility on separate chips are very simple - it would convolute the PCB's, it would create cooling problems, it would inflate the price for adopters, it would make the system humongous and it would literally require both companies to come up with two separate designs of one system, one of these designs would sell poorly due to the entry price of $600+. If you think that such a Deluxe edition would sell, okay, fine - perhaps it would sell a few units. I'm willing to wager that it wouldn't cover the cost of manufacturing it and the route Sony and Microsoft went, meaning releasing budget editions of their last generation systems, is a superior move. As it stands today, you can have both last and current generation compatibility for $399 + $250 = $649 if you still don't have a PS3/360 for whatever reason. Everybody else who already has those systems prefers to pay less, which is reflected by the mindblowing sales of both systems. [/QUOTE]
