In a roundtable conversation with journalists, President of Sony’s Worldwide Studios noted that PS3 games of both the retail and downloadable variety will not be compatible with PlayStation 4, at least not natively. In other words, your PS3 discs won’t work in the new console nor will the games you downloaded.

Maybe in price, but it doesn't appeal to consumers in "the broadest sense".

I don't understand why people are complaining. These games aren't going to be available for PS4 in any way unless they're are re-developed for PS4 architecture. Each PS3 and PSN game was developed for the Cell and RSX, which the PS4 has neither of, and will have to be ported in order to be playable in any form.

Yes. Not having backwards compatibility sucks, I agree completely. They're trying to use Gaikai as that vehicle to bring you previous Playstation stuff.

Sounds like they still can't come up with an original thought and still copying Nintendo.


Oh man, I feel like I'm back in 2007.
