The expectations on Sony at the moment is through the roof. Now people are expecting PS3 components to be bundled into the PS4 at no extra cost? (not sure how else he could possibly be expecting backwards compatability)


Doesn't mean they can't software emulate PS2 and PS1 games

I really dont think emulating old ass games for people who dont want to move on is a priority over all the other things the PS4 is missing.

I'm also not sure why anyone with a PS1 or PS2 game would be disappointed they cant play it on the PS4.

If you buy a PS4 game today, you are not going to consider whether you think PS6 and PS7 will have BC or not. You will buy it and be happy as long as it works on the console it says on the box. Sure its a nice bonus if it works on anything else as well, but if it doesnt its not really "malicious" in any way.


It's called having a feature set, not having backwards compatibility after so long of having it would be considered a crime against gaming. Again doesn't mean they can't emulate ps2 and PS1 games, but they sure as hell can't emulate PS3. This task would be trivial

I would've said the same thing after working on the Wii U.



The man speaks the truth, I love Kamiya



Kamiya is awesome. His Twitter is a blast to read through.
