...Why so interested in playing last gen games? This is Nextgen :P
Besides, they may use emulation? (to my knowledge, like the Xbox360)

Anyway...backwards compatibility is a luxury, not a necessity ^^

It is necessary to the PS3 getting a foothold in this gen. I didn't have a PS2 when I bought my PS3, and that was a huge factor. There was about a year of games that I missed out on the PS2 which basically made me look the other way on their currently small library.

For the record I'm a huge PS3 and Sony supporter. But it would be hard to support a decision like that. Maybe it will have low impact, but I doubt it.

 True, I also bought a PS3 to play some PS2 games, since my PS2 broke :( but i mainly bought it because of the games that were to come, and by the time, R:FOM. In my opinion, if people buy a PS3 it's because the want to play PS3 games, not PS2 titles. If they would rather take PS2 titles, then why not just buy a PS2..? 

Anyway, it's something less that would really be enjoyable for many ><
