Why did sony removed BC from the PS3

[Bokal]

I asked myself a question.

When Sony did remove the BC from the PS3, didn't they hope people both buy more PS3 (price cut) and more PS2?

Considering the PS2 is a highly profitable hardware for Sony while the PS3 is not (or was not yet), don't you think it could have been a good move?

 

The PS2 still sold 1.3M last month when the PS3 sold 2.2M...

I still think they should have kept a more expensive SKU with BC, for those who really wanted it though.

Just a thought...
