Gaikai could maybe be a solution for BC for when the PS4 comes out, maybe, for those who want to play PS3 games but don't have or want to buy the physical media.

But I think the best thing SONY could do is when the PS4 does come out, make an even newer super duper slim PS3 with PS2/PS1 BC. That way they can finally stop selling PS2s. There is still a ton of potential for selling an offline system that will play PS3/PS2/PS1 game discs if they can do it for less than $149 and make a good profit.

They might do that, and that's a pretty decen't idea,

But your idea still doesn't address what really needs to be addressed....

that being, how do they make the downloadable games that people bought that need a Cell processor to work.....how to make them work on your PS4.  In order to make PSN/SEN go mainstream and not look like a joke, (Sony's aspirations are to go after Apple)....they will need to make that happen.

 

This is where Gaikai must come through....especially since the Cell Processor seems to be on its way out for future devices.
