Why Sony dropped the BC ???

[GooseGaws]

People who are saying "if you want BC just pay more for it" are missing the point. That point is that Sony has publicly stated that BC is no longer any kind of priority for them, and that BC consoles will be discontinued in some regions (and other regions are likely to follow). Whether this hold true or not remains to be seen, but this is a fundamental shift in what their philosophy towards BC has been up to this point. It may be that once the current stocks are exhausted, no more BC PS3 consoles will be produced.
