[QUOTE="BlueSnake01, post: 13747917, member: 57844"] [SIZE="5"][B]Different architecture, Cell ≠ x86[/B][/SIZE] Anyone remember PS3? The original one's came with the Emotion chip, then was changed to emulation which the list of playable PS2 games was cut and werent as smooth as with the EE. Price? Starting $500+ The Cell also had a lot to do with the high cost and also keep in mind they were LOSING money on every single PS3 being sold at the time. They learned from their mistakes that not everyone wanted to pay a hefty price tag for a console and wanted to make profit. A smaller percentage would buy a backwards compatible console selling for maybe $600+ vs what they have now. Almost everyone already has a PS3, whats soo hard with grabbing a different control and changing the input? Console gamers getting lazier everyday…… Besides the point, Gaikai will launch next year anyways, so no….. they're not both against backwards compability. [/QUOTE]
