I think everyone would like that mate 
However unfortunately it's not as simple as that, a lot of PS2 titles will need some updates because they won't be able to run natively on the PS3/PS4 hardware, which would be a fair bit of work.
Which color will it be? I don't see the point on random guessing.
Game of the year 2017 so far:
5. Resident Evil VII
You make a really good point about the PS4 not having Piss3 compatibility... I never thought of that. I had assumed they would have Piss3 compatibility because so many gamers really missed the Piss2 compatibility on the Piss3. The only rumor I've heard of is that the Piss4 will be released in 2014.

It's worse than that, it's a pain to re-release something. For instance, Capcom just can't release X-men vs Street Fighter again, unless Marvel agrees. Even if it's the PSX port or something. Plus you have to look into what contracts you've had with voice actors and other people to see if money from the re-release have to go to them. Games have to go through a QA to make sure they work properly. Lots of pains to release a game.
i believe by that time PS2 games will be available in digital download...
so it won't need the PS2 driver in it, so if you talking about compatible in media disc is definitely no...
I think it will be compatible with all previous consoles.
It will be PS2 compatible because the games are no longer being made physically... and PS2 has one of the if not the most critically acclaimed game library of all time
Currently playing: MAG, Heavy Rain, Infamous
Getting Plat trophies for: Heavy Rain, Infamous, RE5, Burnout and GOW collection once I get it.
I'd pay an extra $50 bucks for a ps4 with ps3 backwards compatibility

No, I severely doubt it.
| VGKing said: No. There's a reason Sony removed PS2 compatability in the move to PS3 Slim, to reduce costs. A PS2 emulator would be too unstable so the best PS2 compatibility we will get in the future is PS2 games ported to work on PS3 like we're getting right now. |
The PS2 emulator is too unstable because the PS3 is too weak performance-wise. PS4 would be more powerful, so there should be no problem emulating that, considering today's computer's can emulate PS2 games in HD on the fly, and the programmers don't even have the complete program code of the PS2.

Hype-o-meter, from least to most hyped: the Last Story, Twisted Metal, Mass Effect 3, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Playstation ViTA
bet with Mordred11 that Rage will look better on Xbox 360.
The PS4 won't be Cell-based, so it's possible that they could build in an emulator. However, going by Sony's patents from two years ago, I think it's more likely that Sony will release PS2/PS3 modules for the PS4 that include actual hardware for full compatibility to both systems and that physically plug into the console itself.
Again, this is based on official patent requests, not pure speculation.
