Saw this and just though you guys would be interested. Fake or genuine?

fake id say because ps3 uses nividia which means no backwards compatibility for the ps4 = dooooooooomeeeeedddd!!!!

They didnt have backwards compatability on PS3 unless you had the 60gb maybe theyll do the smae thing with the PS4 and only have 1 backwards compatable version.

Yes but think what would happen to PSN! Every ounce of content on that would become redundant on the ps4.....

True say but they would fill it with the PS4's PSN soon enough. Also not every PS3 user will switch to PS4 straight away, theyll still make a bit more profit from it before it does die

Thats a non-starter imo.

BC is a must for the next round of consoles from MS & PS.

I want BC dont get me wrong i just dont think its gonna happen

If Sony drops the Cell, as speculation is it will since IBM stopped development of it, and if this rumor holds true, then no it's unlikely it'll come in the box.

However Sony received a patent for an add-on module that would provide the capabilities of a prior generation console on the current generation.  Basically the CPU and GPU of the older console in a module that connects to the new console.  I think if they offered that for a 1 time price (i.e. no per game fee) then gamers would be happy with it.  For PS3 owners it wouldn't be a big deal, because they already have the PS3.  For those that don't it's the price of admission. 

I think the next generation Xbox will definitely have it.  I don't see Microsoft dropping AMD or IBM as their GPU and CPU source.
