Extremely important, the lack of backwards compatibility at the launch of this console cycle caused me to spend more money on my PC rather than buy a new console. I probably played 30% of my games on console last generation due to friends on those platforms, but a lack of backwards compatibility convinced me to stop purchasing consoles and console games. If the Xbox One meets my needs for backwards compatibility I would strongly consider one as a backup for my aging 360 and for the few exclusives not on PC (although that list is embarrassingly small).
