If PS+ continues to give out PS4 games for a while, it would be nice to be able play on the PS5; especially if you can run them in higher res or higher framerate.

aside from the ps3 looking ugly compared to the ps4, it wasn't even difficult to swap, they both use the same rounded power cable, (ps2 has a square round) just unplug 3 cables and swap in (i have ethernet too).
it's actually more annoying to transfer ps4 between rooms, living room for vr.

This is pure nonsense. 60 fps on 4K is not even achievable today on a $1000-1500 video card and a $3K+ PC (60 FPS average with no solw downs). And youre speculating 60 fps 4K on a $500+ console? Yeah, good luck with that. They are still having a hard time providing 1080P with 60FPS on the upgraded PS4 pro and the new XBONE or whatever the fuck the new one is in some games. While an average $1200 PC can utterly SLAY 1080P with 150 FPS+ everything on ultra in most games with a mid range video card.
Maybe the next gen consoles will finally deliver 1080p 60+ FPS.

Honestly for quite some time. That was a major selling point to me. I'm buying the 5, handing down the 4 pro to my son who is on the fence with fully going to a 5 or just going to PC gaming. However, chances are real good I won't be playing any actual next gen games for a while, because let's be real the majority of the games coming out the first year of a new gen's console are shit anyway, and I'll still be way into Nioh 2 and other late gen games at that time. I was planning on waiting until the second-third year of release before picking up a 5 for that reason, but with full BC, and I've heard a "boost" mode for those older games, it will serve me well.

I'm a console pleb but whatever, he seems to like it, so why not. But he can't do both but it's on him to decide which one to stick with.

Constantly. I played ps1 shit a couple weeks ago, ps2 stuff once in a while. SNES off and on all the time. I don’t play ps3 stuff ever though.

I think they're actually still kinda ambiguous on the level of backward compatibility that's been officially announced thus far. If they're not fully backward compatible (with digital library transferring, etc) with the PS4 that'll be a huge mistake.

If they opt not to make it backward compatible, there would be no good reason other than laziness or greed. I understand why PS4 wasn't backward compatible with 3, because the PS3 ran Cell architecture whereas PS4 was x86, so likely the only way they'd be able to make it work would have been by plopping down a Cell CPU in the PS4. Both PS4 and PS5 are x86 based, so there are no architectural limitations.
