I would imagine $50 is a pretty good estimate. However, that would also tack on an extra $50-60 to the final price of the PS4. I think they should just aim for PS1 and PS2 BC. This wouldn't cost them much and would not cut into the PS3's sales as much as a $400 fully BC PS4 would. I do think most, if not all, games on PSN will get a small update to work on the PS4, as well.

But a Full BC PS4 would be the best... because this could make some PS3 owners to buy a PS4.. by selling their actual console... You can keep playing Ps3 games and have the lastest and hotest machine of the market... at least I would do like that... fund my PS4 selling my PS3...^^

Don't get me wrong, I would love it if the PS4 was fully BC.  They could even have some catchphrase like "PS 4ever."  However, they are going to want to offset the losses made from selling the PS4 at a marginal loss with PS3 sales, which are selling at a decent sized profit.  Of course, they may have a premium bundle that is $50-$100 more expensive, and comes with full BC.  I'd buy that for a dollar.  Or 500 of them.
