BC support and OtherOS were stripped for cost reasons. PS4 will use 'old tech' made cheap during the PS3's lifetime (faster Cell, faster blu-ray drive, with a new beefy GPU) so I think those cost issues may not arise with the PS4 and both BC and OtherOS are definitely plausible. I expect PS4 can launch in late 2012 at a max of $399 and Sony could be breaking even or making a profit on each unit. It's even possible they could launch at $299.
