If Sony released the ultraslim "PSThree'' model with full PS2 backward capability?

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.

Returning backwards compatibility would be fantastic, but letting us play old discs doesn't benefit them financially and that's why they're opting for a cloud service. The cloud games will probably be running on software based emulators as well.

Right, I wasn't presuming you felt Sony was going to do this. I was just pointing out full backward compatibility would be unlikely, they would opt for software emulation because its cheaper.

Well I would agree with you that they probably would opt to just shrink it and make it cheaper without compatibility and keep PSNow... but being a company trying to profit wouldn't doubt a way to "enable" software simulation by paying a fee (because some markets the PSNow will take several years to kick in).

I would like a retrocompatible PS3, just wouldn't buy because I just collect the "first models" (chassi) of my consoles (they usually are prettier).
