Support for backwards compatibility is the main reason I’m going back to Xbox this generation. I told myself that if PS5 offered great backwards compatibility, that I would buy it day one. However, it was Xbox that stepped up and offered the best support, in this regard.
@graysoncharles Sort of... but two issues I can think of. Some people work and can't get out of work, thus they can't be there when a store opens. So in that case, it isn't that fair is it? The other issue, specific to this year, is that would bring out droves of people, unnecessarily, during a global pandemic where we are supposed to social distance.
@Kefka2589 Haha Yes. I agree. I think they are going to increase their user base a ton this generation. I'm sure I'll eventually get the PS5 down the road (Probably when they do a refresh with a smaller sized machine). I still have a lot of PS4 games to play through, so I'm in no rush. However, I can't wait to experience Game Pass.

I haven't played an Xbox in almost 20 years. I've always had Playstation.
I told myself that if PS5 has great backwards compatibility that I would buy it day one.
However, Microsoft has done a tremendous job in preserving backwards compatibility that it turns out, I'm getting the Series X Day One.
