At this point, sony's PS4 is beating the competition 2 to 1 and doesn't need to do anything in regards to BC when it has a game streaming service and games on PSN. MS is trying whatever it can to bring more appeal to console and it hasn't convinced the world to go with the xbox one yet. |
I'm pretty sure what made PS3 expensive was the cell and Bluray.
It was apparently losing money even at $600. The PS2 CPU and GPU was responsible for only a tiny fraction of that cost.

My point is after they ditched BC out of the PS3, the price dropped to a level gamers were far more comfortable with.
