The compatibility thing is a big issue for some but maybe not for most and if things hold true, you'll be able to play your PS2 games soon enough anyway.

PSX games have always been there even after backwards compatibility was removed so if that's more your thing then you should have no problem from the get-go.

Your purchases are linked to your account so they transfer with a new console, and you get a smaller, somewhat nicer look and probably less power consumption too.

But that's my opinion.
