To me its essential because Sony is trying to entice me with both the PS3 and the PS4. If i compare the two, the PS3 is the better deal hands down. Now, if instead of a PS3 i could get the PS4 and get acess to my PS3 games, then it would be a more profitable solution for me and for Sony in the long term (as they would sell another PS4).

Since that isnt the case, and since new consoles launch with poor software offers until one year down the road, they usually have high defect rates and are incredibly expensive, i see no reason why i would go for a PS4 instead. The smart thing to do is to get a PS3 this year and a PS4 two years down the road. Now, you ponder wether this is on Sony's best interests or not.
Heck, i dont even mind if i have to buy an extra acessory for the backwards compatibility to work, aslong as i can have acess to the PS3 games aswell. On another note, isnt the PS4 so powerful that they could just emulate PS3 games on it? Its kind of odd to me.
