Should it be necessary to have a PS2, PS3 AND PS4 hooked up all at once to play?

Backwards compatibility is definitely overrated.

This.

PS3 ditched ps2 compatibility because it did not prove to be a major selling point and it was not worth the additional costs.

It would have been a better selling point if the thing didn't launch at freaking $599.

How ?

The PS2 compatibility came at a cost: the ps3 hardware itself couldn't play PS2 games. That's why the first PS3s came with the PS2 CPU & GPU on board.
