I dont understand why people liek to insinuate this. PSP never got any sony support after the Vita.

No the PS2 only saw support because the PS3 was hemmoraghing cash like a mother fucker until 2010. Then they got the device rolling.

PSP isn't a console.

Also, you're saying that Sony started developing God of War II in Nov/Dec 2006 for released in March 2007 when they realised that the PS3 wasn't doing as well as they wanted?

No they released it so they could rerelease it later and charge you 30$ for basically bumping up the resolution

This is also considering the GOW games were the #1 requested re-releases by a landslide back then. I think Sony just realized how well the resulting collection was doing and milked the whole "HD classics" line out of it. I could care less personally, the only one that actually felt like a true remaster to me was the Sly Trilogy. 

Keep in mind, the current figureheads at Sony aren't quite as enthusiastic about backwards compatibility as Ken Kutaragi was. They most likely kept PS1 BC because it had zero bearing on manufacturing costs, where as the PS2 chipset was the single most expensive feature they could remove.
