Fair enough, but the WiiU was fully BC with the Wii for 300 bucks. It can be done. Its just not good business.

Wii U was just 3 Wii CPUs overclocked which in itself was an overclocked Gamecube CPU. Nintendo used basically the same CPU for 3 consoles. Just modifyed.

Sony consoles used to be native BC with PS1 games.  I miss that...until July when the Polymega comes in.

There is no comparison at all, the wiiU is similar to the wii which is also similar to the gamecube architecture wise. The ps4 and ps5 are totally different from the ps3. Games would have to be changed, microsoft is doing it for the xbox one because the 360 had a similar architecture, so the work is a lot easier.

Even a powerful PC can't run ps3 games 100% bug free.

Also sony has no incentive to do it, they know ps5 will sell really well without having to work on backwards compatibility. Microsoft on the other hand, they need it to attract customers, in fact one of the biggest reasons I prefer my xbox X over my ps4 pro.
