Just a theory i just thought off, and i probably won't be the first.

 

As long as the PS3's aren't Backwards Compatible, the PS2 remains as an affordable console with a very very large gamebase. This way the lifecycle of the Ps2 will be stretched with at least a few years. With the current announcements at E3 it looks like sony wants to be a big player with 3 consoles/handhelds on the market...

Is this Sony's business strategy, or do they really have to keep the production costs of the ps3 low?

I'd say, very smart move, certainly since ps3 is slowly gaining ground and the ps2 is still selling very well.

(although personally i haven't bought a ps3 yet because of the lack of BC here in Europe)

 

 

I think you have that backwards, Sony wants you buying PS3 games for your PS3, not playing PS2 games you already own on it.

 

 

i'm sorry how exactly do i have that backwards?
