| gebx said: @ rocketpig I'm not completly understanding the BC hardware part.. are you saying BC hardware was included because of the backlash MS received from critics for only using software? I see how that would make sense. Sony's biggest strength is its brandname and the millions of PS2 owners, last thing they would want is to piss them off, so they included the BC hardware. When they saw that PS2 users wheren't switching over to the PS3, they decided that maybe BC was overrated and took out the hardware to cut cost. Correct me if I'm wrong |
Not exactly. I meant that Sony always intended software emulation to handle the BC on the PS3 but didn't have time to get it up and running before launch so they included hardware to cover BC with the intention of later replacing it with software BC.
Whew, run-on sentence FTW... Hope that makes sense.
