Backward compatibility like Microsoft has would be a lot of value. And it would encourage PS2 owners to upgrade.

 

The sad truth is, the main source of profit for SCE is PS2 sales. If they added backwards compatibility to the PS3, it would increase PS3 sales and decrease PS2 sales, while making the PS3 more expensive. 

Sony will add in backwards compatability when the PS3 becomes profitable on it's own and the PS2 stops selling.

 

 i agree, they wouldnt add BC in right now, that would basically end Playstation 2 sales.
