Backwards compatibility is a very useful feature. It's convenient to have one device playing a lot of your old games as well as newer ones.
But how often do you actually use it?
I used Wii backwards compatibility with Gamecube games quite a bit. But with the Wii U, I rarely went back to play a Wii game since I am not a fan of motion controls. As far as handhelds go, I used GBA with GB/GBC backwards compatibility only a little and DS with GBA a bit more. With the 3DS, I played DS games on it maybe once or twice a year.
For Xbox, my brothers and I got a 360 as a Christmas gift in 2005 and we played a ton of original Xbox games on it. During the Xbox One era, I also went back to my original Xbox and 360 games quite a bit. Xbox is definitely the brand I use backwards compatibility on most.
As far as Playstation goes we used to have a PS3 fat and played some PS1 and PS2 games on it from 2007 until it stopped working in 2011.
What about you?
