I am really curious given how Sony built the PS4P to guarantee compatibilty between these consoles. It's just not really convincing to me. I mean basically they *have* to do it but the Pro is hinting in a wrong direction. |
I think the architecture will ensure a good chance that PS5 will be PS4 BC. The main reason PS4 isn't BC is because of the Cell. They would have to include a Cell chip in every PS4 for it to be PS3 BC. The PS4 is made up of 'off the shelf' parts so it should be no different to the latest PC playing older games.
That's my understanding but I'm not a tech person.
