What is backwards compatibility on a games console?
Backwards compatibility means your new console can play games from older consoles. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X play most old games from their previous generations. Nintendo Switch cannot.
Backwards compatibility lets you play games from an older console on a newer one. PlayStation and Xbox support this so you can use old game disks without buying them again. Nintendo is different. The Switch can't play games from older Nintendo systems. Backwards compatibility saves you money.
