Emulating a PS3 would require a lot more hardwarewise than emulating the 360. So he got that right, the PS4 can't do BC. But the Wii U which also competes with the XBO does have BC.

Yeah but what's stopping Sony from allowing someone the ability to put in their PS1/PS2/PS3 games into their PS4 and streaming from PS Now instantly? 

For that matter, what's stopping them from releasing a PS1 and PS2 emulator? 

The problem with that is that:

a) Streaming games to you costs money for Sony. If you could do that for free by just popping in your gamedisc, that would be a huge loss project for Sony. They are not a charity, and Sony is not in the position to throw away money like that.

and b) PS1 and PS2 games aren't available on PSNow currently.

 

Nothing is stopping them from releasing a PS1/PS2 emulator, it might very well come sooner or later.
