I think he means they're continually updating all games on the 360 so theoretically you'll be able to play all of them whereas if you have a 40gb PS3 you're screwed as far as PS2 BC goes. There were rumors that they were working on trying to get full software BC but nobody knows if it'll ever be accomplished for any PS2 game. I understand you can play all the PS games but you can't just ignore the massive PS2 library that is untouchable for the 40 SKU. |
but my entire point was that it's VERY arguable on what has "better" BC. Some (most) people would be content with the entire PS1 library out of the box and some would rather have an eventual full Xbox library. So it really wouldn't make sense to just count the PS3 worse at BC(especially by completely ignoring the 60/80gb) than the 360 if it (the PS3) still has the compatibility to play older games that is considered the best in the "3d" era, a much larger library and all straight out of the box. Regardless, I believe that the PS3 40gb will never get a patch to play all/most PS2 games but i expect popular PS2 games to be eventually downloadable via PSN, once the retailers stop caring for PS2 sales.
