here is a question, why is BC such an issue for the PS3 and not for the 360? 360's BC is laughable. Yet people still buy the 360 without complaints. What sony needs to start doing is start offering PS1 and PS2 games on the PS store. And stop adding cost to the PS3 and start adding features that mke sense.

Because the PS2 is harder to emulate.The Xbox is essentially a PC running a toned-down version of Windows, and games use a standard API to make graphics (DirectX).

This means an emulator can intercept those features (HLE style like the first Nintendo 64 emulators) and use the computer's GPU to draw the graphics.

Xbox games are more hardware-independent than PS2 games. How do I know? I've looked at the source code of one of the few existing PC emulators which can actually run some games (Cxbx), and I've read about PS2 emulation.
