    Yeah I understand it perfectly.

    As said in the article "The PlayStation 3 doesn't read PlayStation 2 discs (at least not anymore), but it can play PS2 games via the PlayStation store in an emulated environment. Yoshida concedes that this is possible for the PlayStation 4 supporting legacy PlayStation consoles aswell. Indeed, the Gakai presentation during PlayStation 4's reveal touched on this "everything, everywhere" mentality. But for now, downloaded PS3 games won't work unless somehow, some games work on emulation. And the easiest thing, technically, would be to make PSOne games work on PS4 with emulation. But we're not talking about our emulation plans yet".

    And this is why I stick to computers.. Compability can always be arranged, somehow.

    PS4 - NOT Backward Compatible

    It's only thing which really bothers me about ps4 and even ps3. I will have all these games and nothing to play them on if my console finally breaks. Sure emulation helps but may get charged for that. <.<
