Going by history, backwards compatibility is not a primary prerogative of Sony's. And going by current trends of PS4 sales, why would Sony want to butcher PS4 hardware sales by allowing backwards compatibility with the PS5? |
The last gens the architecture changed heavily from generation to generation. Next gen will most likely also see an X86 based system, which imho makes BC very likely.
Sony can easily miss out on hardware sales for PS4 if it benefits the PS5. The sooner they start building their future the better. It could even benefit PS4 sales late in the cycle, if people would know all their games would also work on the next new system.
I can’t imagine they’d leave the field of BC to MS, when the main reason for no BC on PS4, the Cell’s difficult architecture, is not a thing anymore.
