Sony is looking at remastering PS3 titles the same way Disney remasters movies

I disagree.

BC allows newcomers access to the entire previous gen's library, not just those deemed worth of a remake. It's also much more affordable as most titles are in the bargain bin as the old gen starts to be phased out.

BC would have allowed all PS4 owners who missed out on the PS3 the chance to play TLoU, along with any other PS3 game they may have been interested in, straight off the bat.

As for OP; I wouldn't mind if PS1 and PS2 classics are remade for the PS4. Purely remaking PS3 games would be disappointing.

BC would also have made the console more expensive. Nintendo gets away with it because they don't aim the same technical advancements. They've been recycling the Gamecube architecture for 2 generations now. And it certainly shows.

No doubt it would cost more. Perhaps a second BC model to satiate the users who missed out on the PS3 would have been better. Especially when you consider the cost of the number of "remastered" games that may end up releasing over the lifetime of the PS4 (compared to their secondhand/bargain bin PS3 cost).

As for the rest, I guess you felt the need to get overly defensive. Well done.
