Although I do understand it, it's almost impossible to emulate PS3 or Xbox 360 games and putting PS3/360 hardware in the PS4/One would cost too much and waste too much power... I wish they'd give us like a power converter that the Genesis used. There would be an add-on module with an embedded Cell/RSX graphics chip that would connect to the back of the PS4 via an external PCI bus adapter so it can have access to the PS4's I/O and AV-Out subsystems.

The x86 architecture is fast enough to handle the subsystems necessary to emulate the PS3 properly, due to having 512MB of the memory it needs. Then sell this for like $70 or something.

However instead this generation we are just going to get trounced with 1 year "enhanced ports," uber-expensive subscriptions to play old games, etc. etc. I can honestly see this generaiton of consoles being the last.

Yeah. I mean I understand why the PS4 and Xbox One aren't backwards compatible - it makes sense. The One and PS4 have different architecture that isn't powerful enough to emulate the previous generation systems. And of course, putting the actual chip in would cost too much and cause heating problems.

That's why I wish they'd give us an option at least to buy a power base converter and hook it up and use that instead though.

If there was a way to play before you pay, this would make sense. I've learned the hard way to not do what you're suggesting.

How can u miss something I still have? Lol.

That's why demos and friends exist.
