PS3 Backwards Compatibility Emulated? - console

According to sources close to GamesIndustry.biz, Sony's UK studios are hard at work on both the PlayStation Network (codenamed 'PlayStation HUB') and backwards compatibility software for PS2/PSOne emulation. If the sources are correct, then the PlayStation 3's backwards compatibility is not as certain as it once was. Software emulation is the same trick being used by the Xbox 360 to play original Xbox title, and Microsoft is still trying to get its back catalogue to function properly. The source claims that "a surprising number of PS2 titles are already working on PS3 prototype hardware." Sony must get the majority of its back catalogue compatible with the new PlayStation or they will lose one of their key speaking points.

How anyone could think the previous hardware wasn't going to be emulated is beyond me. There is completely different hardware in the PS3 for crying out loud.

Indeed. But compared to the the 360 I think Sony is in for less choppy road, money wise atleast, since they don't need to spend money on developning hardware emulation for Nvidia graphics on ATi hardware. All is good though as long as I can play my RPG's on the PS3. ^^
