Rumors are not interchangeable with facts, and they should never be treated as confirmations. Only Microsoft knows what is under their hood, and that is just that the way it is until they make up their minds to share. I am tired of people jumping to unfounded conclusions, because they think it makes them look smart. When all doing that really does is make them look arrogant, or worse totally disconnected from reality.

In the context of this discussion. Microsoft has absolutely jack shit to do with this discussion, and seeing as we don't know anything about their plans. There isn't any evidence there to prove anything on subject or not. All it really was about is trying to change the subject, or make Sony look bad by smearing somebody else. Which is hardly all that necessary.

Given the fact that the chances of Sony honoring backward compatibility were already pegged as being incredibly low anyway. We know their hardware not being industry standard hurt them with developers. We also knew they had a fairly good track record of not offering the feature as of late across the entire platform. We even having seeming proof that not including it in the long run didn't adversely effect their brand all that much. It might be a concern with gamers, but it is obviously a secondary one.
