I'm a Xbox360 owner and absolutely unsure about which nextgen system I will be buying, but if Sony gets their backwards compatiblity running it would be a huge plus point for me, since I don't own a PS3.

I wouldn't say Sony have a free pass, but Sony have stated that they want Gaikai to stream all legacy games in the future, whereas MS (I think) have said they have no plans to.
I really like backwards compatibility, but I've come to accept that moving into a new HD generation it's going to be difficult to impossible. I've already learned to live with both a PS2 and PS3 on my floor so I have no reason to give the next Xbox shit over this.
But his choice of words is absolutely horrendous. In fact, everything following the presentation itself just seems like an absolute PR nightmare. I hope they manage to pull things together a bit better for E3.

Good points, I think it will be similar prices to Netflix. How well it will perform? We will see.
Wow, that is some stupid stuff being said. 5% figure is total bull. I play a lot of retro games and indy games because they resemble retro games. i also play a lot of gamecube on my wii. I still have a huge library of ps2 games also, i was playing san andreas the other day.
I've played at most 5 PS1/PS2 games on my PS3. One of those was downloaded off of the PS Store. I think I only played the MGS series and then SOCOM II.

because Sony choose a wording that wouldn't be outright insulting to anyone who cared about it
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

He has been misconstrued anyway. He is talking about the company, he is talking about Microsoft. He isnt talking about consumers. |
this must be such a hard time for you right now

edirt... didnt you have to re-buy games for the 3ds? or was that fixed? |
The 3DS has been fully backwards compatible from day one. As far as I know, there are no games that don't work on it.
