PS2 was BC
PS3 at launch was BC
360 added limited BC
Wii was BC
WiiU is BC
All Nintendo portables have BC
PSVita has limited BC
creating lists are fun!
it sucks, but I was planning on keeping my PS3's and most of my PSN games came via PS+ so no skin off my bones, i'm sure will optimize PSN games of old to work with the PS4, hopefully if you have already purchased them you'll just be able to re-download them or Sony offers them for cheap
who know;Sony can enable this through an update it took some time for the vita to play PS1 games and took even longer for PS2 games to show up on non-BC PS3

Yep this lack of digital BC in a more permanent way is why Android and iOS entrace to gaming will dominate. Your software almost always goes with you forever on new devices independent of the hardware underneath.

Yep. The Wii U transfer was clunky as all hell, but at least it extisted.
If Sony offers Gaikai upgrades of PSN games for a dollar, then this won't suck so bad... assuming Gaikai works well.

And the region code? Still as free as Vita and PS3 are?

If you count limited BC as BC then ps4 will have it as well, in cloud form. PS3, PS2, PS1 included.
I am curious, Can Wii U play gamecube games?

via Virtual Console at some point, yes. Difference is game is downloaded to console and not dependent on internet connect. See Onlive for where I'm headed with this...

Since when does the 360 run on IBM achitecture. IBM created the Cell for the PS3. The 360 runs on AMD/ATI architecture.

The CPU is an IBM processor. Where have you been? NOW its moving to an entirely AMD setup, but its still a big change with completely different CPU architecture.
