| richardhutnik said: There has been expressed concern about loss of backwards compatibility. In response will come something like: "Well, you can always keep your PS3 and get the PS4". Well the PS3 doesn't play PS2 games. And if, say, you are into retro, and want to play older stuff, in order to be able to stay up to date, and want to play stuff, it would mean having a PS2, PS3 and PS4 all hooked up, just to play Playstation home console content. Should this be necessary? Or do you suggest people forget about PS2 stuff now at this point (get rid of your PS2 library), get multiple screens to thin things down around one, or put away one console of choice at a time, and then put another one away when not using it. Which is the most optimal of these? Of course, there is the scenario where you get rid of everything and then subscribe to Sony's cloud service offering and use streaming to play the past, which is set for the PS4 eventually. Does that make sense, to keep paying money to play that which you already purchased? Of course, there is the bandwidth issue concerns to, so that may not be viable for everyone. |
if backward compatability wasn't such an issue for someone to not get it in there ps3 before the ps4 came out why would they suddenly care so much?
if the problem is 3 systems hooked up. Get a ps3 that can play (and upscale) ps2 games. put a larger hard drive in it, transfer the date from the non backward compatable ps3, sell it, buy a ps4
once again only 2 systems hooked up :)
