The thing is darth a lot of people like old games, currently these people arent PS3 gamers (due to the price, only people who worship graphics have really bought the PS3 so far). As Sony drops the price they will get into demographics of people who do care about old games and BC and thus dropping BC from their lower end console means that they will miss at least a segment of the people willing to buy the console at that price.
On June the 1st (4 months ago I think) 4.7M virtual console titles had been downloaded for the Wii, that shows how much at least certain segments of gamers care about old games, that not all gamers think that the only games worth playing are ones released this gen.
