Because most folks already have a DVD and Wii hooked up. A PS3 is fatter than a regular DVD player, and it plays DVDs. The PS2 plays PS2 games, but why should a person with a PS2 and a vast PS2 library buy a PS3? Because they bought a PS2? The point is - if Sony removes a PS3 without BC, what incentives do PS2 gamers have to migrate to the PS3? Brand? No ... they can get the same experience from a 360 or a Wii - because those two consoles - and the 40gb PS3 - don't play PS2 games.
As stated earlier - space isn't unlimited. Even in my room, and it's pretty big, I have limited space. Guess what? I am getting a PS3 - still trying to figure out which version - and I will have to figure out where it's going. If it's a 40gb, I will have run some serious cables all over the room to accomodate it.
Sony is all about themselves - and could care less about their own core values. They have reneged on their word - and folks will still pay for the PS3 - and further proves they can sell crap and folks will flock. And I won't even talk about how Sony is all about BR and letting gaming take a backseat ...
