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.

What? We know already that a majority of PS2s being sold right now are NOT replacements as you can probably tell from PS2 sales in the big territories. It is mainly selling in new, developing markets now to those who did not have it already.

But there is only a finite amount of developing countries so for the PS2 to keep selling steady amounts the replacement factor needs to increase. The original topic was about how the PS2 will outsell the Wii in the future, not in the present.

Edit: I am very calm. Are you?
