As usual, a money grab. Don't blame either M$ or Sony, but it is a pain. If they can run PS360 games through the cloud, how can they not run an emulator right on the PS4/XB1? Because there is no Money in it for developer's and Sony/M$!

It drives up the costs on hardware.

That and it complicates the design of the system. Yes in a perfect world we would have BC in all Next gen systems. I don't know anybody who would buy a PS4 specifically to play PS3 games, sure it would be a nice additional but it is what it is. Emulating a console takes a lot of horse power and it is made even more difficult when the architecture is different .
