PS4 couldn’t have it because of the architecture change but the PS5 is expected to have BC.

Uh... What?

Are you suggesting that there was no architecture change between the original Xbox and Xbox 360? Or there was no change between the Original Xbox and Xbox 360 to the Xbox One? Because you would be extremely incorrect.

Of course it changed, but the change is minimal compared to PS3 vs PS4. 

It's no surprise that it took so long for the PS3 to be even emulated on PC, and many thought it never would do to the system's complexity. 

I tend to agree with those who say that remasters are better in this case since most of the multiplats from the PS3 era were better on 360 or PC anyway, and the meat of the quality exclusive library has already been ported to the much better PS4 (with the exception of MGS4).

I just hope what they did with the PS2 & PS3 "BC" doesn't become a trend because it won't work again next gen since most of the player base has a PS4. Last gen it was split between the 360, so tons of players scooped up remasters catching up on an exclusive they missed. I hope they're smart enough not to bank on this next gen.

And I'm still waiting for PS One classics to hit the PS4. I guess they want us to keep our PS3s and Vitas around for something...
