re: No backwards compatibility from MS or Sony?

Such a dumb move. I understand they want people to buy current gen games and not stick with their older games. But one of the main reasons the PS2 was so popular was everyone did not have to ditch their PS1 collection, or keep an old PS1 hooked up. And for people like myself who never had a PS1, I could go back and pick up old PS1 games.

If I remember correctly, the PS2 was still selling like hotcakes after the release of the PS3.

They are going to go the route of supporting the PS3 post PS4 launch.
