Why PS3 Won't Get Backward Compatibility

For the first time ever, I've seriously thought about getting an Xbox 360 instead of a PS3.

One of the reasons I want a PS3 are so that it can replace my PS2, as in, I can completely get rid of my PS2. The only reason I haven't bought a PS3 is because I'm waiting for some better games to come out for it.

If I have to own a 2nd console, I might as well buy an Xbox 360, so that I can play Xbox exclusive titles. Really, the PS3 doesn't have a whole lot of exclusivity. Final Fantasy XIII, will be on the 360, Halo is on the 360, Dynasty Warriors 6, Ninja Gaiden, etc, etc.

PS3 does have God of War III and Heavinly Sword, but are these few rare exclusive titles really enough to make me add ANOTHER console to my entertainment center?

i thougt id buy ps3 and will be able to play ps2 games but reading reviews and articles on ps3 i think i will give it a big time miss x box 360 seems much better,

i have ps1 and ps2 but not gonna buy the over priced ps3 which cant play ps2 games, no point collecting the sony brand anymore,

lots of people are now buying the wii or the xbox 360 over ps3, what a shame on ps3 and they say they are the best dont even bloody have a decent game on the ps3.

wow yall are dumb..theres plenty of games for ps3...and if the ps2 is still for sale...why would ps3 play ps2 games...than no one would buy the ps2...because if u could buy a ps3 and have the ps2 all in one package....

now changeing and shows how old this report is and how aincient its thinking is.
