Nintendo has done this for years with their consoles. You can play Game Boy games on the Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance (1989 -> 2001), Gamecube games on the Wii and Wii games on the Wii U. The same was true for Playstation 2 games in the first few versions of the Playstation 3.
There will definitely be games that require a Playstation Neo and will not run on the Playstation 4.

- patresi 10y agoFor now...
- serge2k 10y agoAccording to rumors song is absolutely not allowing neo only games.
- johnny22 10y agodidn't they remove the ability to play gamecube games on later versions of the wii?
- Dylan16807 10y agoThat's weird. The Wii hardware is completely compatible with the GC hardware. The only extra cost was adding the ports.
- Dylan16807 10y agoLet's not go and forget that the N64 could be upgraded with more memory, optional on some games and mandatory on others.
