I think you forget how many people said it couldn't be done on the Xbox One. How many people laughed at the notion that Microsoft could do that.

Even after the announcement at E3 - and the demos. People were like, "I'll believe it when I see it." "Fake MS Lies!' and all sorts of silliness.

It wasn't easy to do. The difference between DirectX 9c, on the Xbox 360, and DirectX 11x/12 are very different. It's rather amazing they have pulled it off.

Sony probably could, but I don't see anything pointing to them doing that. Plus I thought they were going to let you stream old games off the cloud with Gaki? (Even-though we KNOW you CAN'T play anything off a cloud - like Halo.)

I think it can be done.  Even the ps3 was able to do it via software.  I just don't see what they have to gain.  I'd love it, though.  I sold my ps2 when I got a ps3 because I didn't need it anymore.  I found play all of my games on my ps3!  And then, my ps3 broke and I was left with tons of games I can't play (got another ps3 with no BC).

It would be a great feature for me as I actually used it quite often up until the very end.  I just don't see how it benefits Sony.
