It's because the PS3 is not BC anymore while the Wii is and the Wii U will be, so there is no need to keep the Wii going but people need to replace their defunct PS2's if they want to keep playing their old games. So which business strategy is more commendable for the consumer? I just love it when a company screws people over and the fans go "You show em Sony, wooohooo!"

We got a smart one here, NO one is happy about PS3 not being backward compatible, show me someone who is.

OT THey love 3ds in Japan! Cant wait to see how KH3d does in the US

Read the posts before mine, there you have the people who are happy about it because people replacing PS2's is apparently a good thing.

In no way did he indicate that he was happy that people had to replace their consoles. If he indicated anything it was that he might be happy that a older console is outselling a more recent one, now if you want to draw your own out of whack conclusion to that, be my guest

There's a correlation between the fact that the PS2 keeps selling indefinitely and the missing BC from the PS3. It's a given that the Wii will not keep selling at the pace the PS2 does due to the fact that Wii U will be able to play Wii games. And yes, people gloating over the fact that the PS2 will outsell the Wii due to  Sony screwing people over more than Nintendo does in this regard (They are both no saints) means to me that there are people who support this behavior at their own cost as long as they have some numbers to gloat about. I'm just THAT crazy. So here's my number...
