That will only happen if they find a way to make money off it. If it's full BC, with no string attached. I'd say that would be one of the rare good decisions they made in the last 10 years.

Microsoft are the only ones currently offering good BC. Sony and Nintendo not so much. But i expect ps5 to be fully bc. To expect ps4 to be fully ps3 bc is ridiculous. Ps5 to ps4 they have no excuse not to so I'd expect it. At the start of next gen when ps5 only games are not in abundance ps4 bc is a huge selling point and i highly doubt Sony will give MS the edge here. 

With the Switch it makes sense that it isn't fully BC because of the format choices, so they have to rely on software emulation, we shall see where that will go as far as legacy offering goes. Microsoft has been doing the right thing here, don't need to explain. Sony mostly dropped the ball in this category, and it didn't have to. All we have is a small legacy selection of PS2 titles and (albeit pretty good selection of) PS1 titles to play. I only draw my conclusion because of past actions, I think that is fair is it not?

Of course it will be. If anything, continued dominance in the gaming field will require they do. 

Funny enough the Vita had better legacy offerings than the PS4 and they sold reasonable well. They bungled the PSTV which shouldn't even have existed. Why can't they just offer the same content on PS4? Why can't I play Xenogears on my PS4?
