Interesting... Lost touch?
Glad to see "albotas.com" knows how to run a gaming company. Anyway, there's another article (
http://n4g.com/News-381649.... that addresses the Compatibility issue perfectly and one of the points it made was:
"2. PS2 is still selling good. Third party developers who are still releasing games on PS2 know that their games will sell better if PS2 is a separate console, as most people with a PS3 are going to primarily focus on buying PS3 games, which has a lot more games being released and therefore much more competition (even from the same publisher).
So, all in all it just does not make much business sense for Sony to bother with PS2 backwards compatibility yet. They are focusing on making PS3 better right now anyway, trying to get things like cross game voice chat worked out and such. When they finally discontinue the PS2, we might see backwards compatibility included for PS3 then. Until then, PS2 is still selling."
