| Mr Puggsly said: Full backward compatibility would require Sony to manufacture more of those PS2 CPU and GPU chips. Hence, that would make the console more expensive. Software based backwards compatibility would be cheaper. Sony has a PS2 emulator that apparently supports most games, but they only allow people to use it for PS2 Classics purchases. |
Don't know how much would it really cost to make the chips and embeded in PS3, or even integrate it in the new revision. But returning software emulation would be a plus.
And I didn't said they wiill release. Just what would people expect it to sell if Sony released.

Mr Puggsly: "Hehe, I said good profit. You said big profit. Frankly, not losing money is what I meant by good. Don't get hung up on semantics"
