If Xb one can do emulation BC for 360, then PS4 should be able to easily do emulation BC for PS2

It should be easy, but wasn't Sony trying to sell PS Now for all your BC needs?

Sony wants your $$$, MS wants to stay relevent.

What are you on about? You put PS2 classics on the PSN store and they will probably generate more revenue than they would through PSNow. And I'm guessing that having games for sale and download on PSN has lower overheads than streaming a game through PSNow.

PSNow for PS3 BC is basically essential because I doubt PS4 is capable of doing a decent job of PS3 BC. It's tricky enough for MS to do it with Xb one and 360 having very similar hardware design. They have to do tweaks to each 360 game for it to run on the emulator, which is why you have to download the game and you can't just slap in your 360 disc and play. With PS3 BC emulation Sony would have to almost do the whole remaster treatment, which cannot be justified on a cost basis. PSNow is the only way to cost effectively deliver PS3 BC to PS4.
