Yes Sony is clearly reaping up the rewards in PS3 sales due to lack of BC this gen. In 2006 Sony could barely keep up with the demands of all the current PS2 users and PS3 kept running out of stock due to all those demand. Yes they made tons of cash, tons and tons of cash.

Never smoked weed in my life
Sony's business model when entering the games market has always been to sell the console at a loss early to then make up in game sales and decreasing manufacturing costs over time. A highly profitable PS2 division has subsidised the losses from PS3 during its fledgling years. Including BC in a console only increases the costs of manufacturing, where as forcing customers to buy the older console generates more income. No other reason for Sony to remove BC from the PS3, I'm not convinced they'll change back to their old ways when the PS4 lauches.
If they do they are giving consumers the choice of buying a console that loses Sony money to play older gen games and a couple of Next gen launch games, or buying an older console that is profitable and has a massive game library.
Never argue with idiots
They bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience
