Note:
- The GameStick, NVIDIA Shield, Ouya, and Steam Box are attempting to compete in this market; however these are seldom referred to as "eighth generation consoles".
- There are legitimate ways to enjoy media using XBMC/OpenELEC on many devices (e.g. Ouya, Raspberry Pi, PC etc.). You can watch virtually anything anywhere anyhow, without needing a subscription, signup, online connection or any other means that lock you out of your rights or trying to steal your money with monthly fees.

please report back if they worked or not
PlayStation 2 Backwards Compatibility through Emulation[edit | edit source]
- Confirmed by Sony (whatever this means)
- Unknown if supported digital as downloadable content through the PlayStation Store or disc-based too (physical) or disc-based only for authentification similar during the emulation process with a Xbox 360 Game Title running on a Xbox One console:
- seems not so to get a physical support :(
