PS4 needs to have backwards compatibility with PS3. Not via the cloud, but via the Blu-Ray discs and those PSN games we bought need to run as well.....PS4 owners get an intant game collection of PS3 games from Day 1, doesn't that sound awesome? Plus, games like God of War Ascenion and The Last of Us are coming out really late in the generation and letting PS4 owners play those games is the smartest thing Sony could do. |
Not via cloud? There is only one way for Sony to get BC: Some Gaikai-solution.
No Alternatives? Yes, and here is why:
1.
PS4 contains hardware of PS3 (like the first PS3-version had part of PS2-hardware in it): not gonna happen because too expensive, too much power-drain, even bigger case...
2.
PS4 emulates PS3: *NOT* gonna happen. PS3 is too much of a complex console to emulate. 6 SPEs at high clock-rates, the PPE at 3.2 GHz... absolutely unrealistic to get playable fps.
Really, putting your PS3-BD into PS4 and just play won't happen.
