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?

It doesn't cost that much to include backward compatibility.  They already have the software running on the soon to be extinct 80 gigs.  Yes, they do make money on the PS2, but sales are going down and the lack of backward compatibility for most PS3s has hindered sales.  So a good point is that too many people are buying PS3s and loading up on PS2 greatest hit games.  Thus not making the royalty money that Sony is used to.  I mean, do you think graphics are enough to spend $60 on Madden for PS3 or $40 on Madden for PS2?  That's a lot of money to pay for usually less options, only better graphics.
