What didn't you know? people love to see things that are on top fall and I mean fall hard. You have Nintendo Fanboys hating Sony and wanting revenge because Sony dominated the last 2 generations forcing Nintendo to discontinue there consols twice and you Have Microsoft fanboys hating Sony because they forced MS to discontinue the original Xbox aswel.

It doesn't matter what Sony does now. They could bring us a handheld with all those specs that costs 100 euros to buy, comes with a lifetime download pass that allows you to download every NGP game that comes out all for the price of free and it even cooks and cleans for you and people will still hate on Sony and the dam thing. People just love to hate Sony.

The reality of the videogame industry is NO ONE stays on top forever.  NO ONE.  That is how the game works.  Sony got lucky with the PS and PS2.  To manifest sheer arrogance, like Sony has been around forever, and feel as a fan you are entitled to be top dog, and think everyone needs to line up with your wish for the shape of the gaming universe, is absurd.

As far as the original XBox goes, Microsoft dropped it after their licensing agreement with Nvidia ran out, and they couldn't make it any longer.  At least they bothered to provide some semblance of backwards compatibility, which is something Sony threw out to save a few bucks in the making of the PS3.

If you think it about it, the lack of backwards compatibility was a good thing. When they threw out BC, they dropped the price 100 $. That's an extra 100$ to buy a PS2 if you wanted one.
