- Volpe 14y agoThey hinted at "Gaming in the cloud" that would support PSX, PS2, PS3, PSP... etc Likely using the same tech they use for playing a PS3/4 on a PSP/PSVita (respectively)
- btgeekboy 14y agoIt's not like the PS3 had PS2 backwards compatibility for very long - hardware support was phased out within a few short months, and software emulated support within a year[1]. I'd say it worked out pretty well for them thus far. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ps3 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ps3
- Tuna-Fish 14y agoReal backcompat with cell would be really, really hard. It would either cost a lot because you have to put an useless cell cpu in the box, or cost a lot because you have to expend the engineering resources to redevelop the games you want on a new cpu. However, the platform is sufficiently close to the PC that shipping the PC versions with slightly tweaked GPU code should be relatively painless. PS4 should have a huge library at release.
