So stupid, really not fair to consumers.

Newsflash, consumers hold 100% of the power.

If you do not like this change, you simply do not purchase a new console and the industry changes accordingly.

Rocket science?

Guess I'll be buying a PS3 and stopping there.

I only have a few titles, which I'm still running on my PS2.

If they stop used/older titles, then yeah. No more consoles for me. It's not worth it, I'd lose like 75% of my inventory. I don't go chasing the dragon on games.

I really couldn't have been any less interested in owning a console before this news so I have no opinion assuming the linkless claim in the OP is true.

I don't really want to right now. But history tells me I will buy every console.

It's a good change technology wise but it also mods consumers over once again.. there must be a way to allow for the port of the games.. and newsflash how the hell did you come up with the fact that consumers hold 100% of the power in that decision? Did your rocket scientist friends tell you that?

Not totally true but if the majority of potential consumers don't buy, the product will fail and die.
It will have a much shorter life at the very least.

All their customers will buy one. They will sell more new ones than they sold old ones. And not just that, but games will be better and ore economical. YAY!!

Well it's quite annoying that if I want to play my PS2/PS3 games that I have to have 3 effing consoles connected to my effing TV to do so..
