BC on PS3 would not affect PS2 sales at all since those who are now buying PS2s do not want to pay $400+ for a console.
The only reason they done it was so it would discourage those who buy a PS3 to go out and buy PS2 games instead of new PS3 games. They are expected to drop the price of the PS2 to $99 next year further illustrating they are intending to keep the PS2 alive for a few more years.
