| darkenergy said: Despite news of backward compatibility on Xbox One, Sony still doesn't plan on implementing similar technology on PlayStation 4. "The announcement didn't change," Sony Computer Entertainment head Shuhei Yoshida told Polygon. "I don't think we will change our approach. The PlayStation 4 doesn't have backward compatibility." "Backward compatibility is hard," he said. "I won't say we'll never do it, but it's not an easy thing to do. If it was easy we would have done that." Edit: Thread title change. |
Of course they don't.
First reason: They can't. Of course they could make an emulator for the PS3 to x86 but it would be too slow and they know this. Not to mention that an emulator would cost them a lot .
Second reason: PS Now. While this is of course a solution which aims higher, right now for people who migrated from a non-Sony console to PS4 the only way to play PS3 games is either hoping for a remaster or live in US and play them expansively via PSNow, with added delay and a worse image quality.
