Will the PS4 have PS2 backwards compatibility?

PS3 can emulate the PS1 which is 2 gens before it. So naturally the PS4 should be able to emulate the PS2. It has the power to do it, all it needs is Sony's effort.

Sony would much rather sell you all your PS 1,2,3 games to you again on their own version of a virtual console. They don't make money onyour playing your old games, but they do make money tricking people into paying for the convience of playing old games on new hardware.

Just do what I do. Keep all your old consoles just in case you ever feel like playing them again. I still play my Dreamcast, SNES, Genesis and original Gameboy often. I don't buy Virtual Console games because I still have the real consoles.

Are they forcing you to buy them? NO. If you are stupid/dedicated enough to rebuy games you already own then go ahead, that only encourages Sony even more.
Anyway all PS3s play PS1 discs fine.....

The money it costs to make a proper PS2 emulator for PS3 would probably be much cheaper than the cost to port these games to PS4 like they are doing with the PS2 Classics right now on PS3. Wouldn't it be better if they could just upload that original PS2 game to PSN and let people pay for it? YES IT WOULD.
