And their next console "essentially being a PC" is what will pull in the most money for them, even if they do have to get rid of backwards compatibility with the PS3 (PS1 and PS2 backwards compatibility is inevitable).

Why do people keep saying this, backwards compatibility is still easily done,

Sure. An AMD processor emulating the PS3 cell processor. Even Better: An AMD processor that turned out to be subpar in performance emulating the PS3 cell processor. I believe you....

Umm no, you have no idea how software works... This is easily done through emulation. Sony will NOT make PS4 non backwards compatible.

Can be done, yes, but I doubt 4 BD cores at say 3GHz are strong enough to emulate the Cell at a reasonable speed.
