It would not be awesome if the PS4 had a PS3 emulator. For it to be awesome to the PS fanbase, it would have to be fully BC with all previous gens or be able to emulate games from the PS1, PS2 and PS3. I don't care about a PS3 emulator by itself. Sony doesn't need to or should add BC to the PS4. 

BC has been around a long time and because the xbox one is getting a very limited BC, it's a must have all of a sudden. Guess what, it's not. The wii u is BC with the wii but it's obviously not drawing people to buy the console. If MS really wanted to go that route, they should of designed their console with BC in mind instead of having a limited BC after the fact. Ultimately, it's just another feature that adds limited appeal to the xbox one. 

Hey, I think a lot of people in the Sony fan would prefer you not speak for them. Limited BC is better than what PS4 has now... PS Now and remasters. Neither fo which allow you to play games you already own.

It doesn't matter if BC draws people to a platform. God forbid Sony do a little fan service.

So says the xbox fan who thinks it would be awesome for PS4 owners to have just PS3 BC on the PS4. PS Now and remasters are optiional. It's not how it was with MS trying to force gamers to buy into the whole kinect at the beginning of this gen. We don't need BC. PS2's are BC with PS1. The 80gb/ 4 usb model PS3s are BC with the PS2 and PS1. Many of the long time PS owners own those consoles. So BC is pointless for them.

Gamers finally converting over to sony have many options to choose from to play the older games. The PSN store, PS now, remasters and of course, buying the old hardware and copies of games (it's expensive and I don't recommend doing that unless you can get a really good deal). All of those are optional.
