We already explained this.. It'd be a bad thing if they hadn't changed the architecture. Now they will have more/better developers and better games.4th Playstation system and still no backwards compatible with the previous systems. Greedy bastards.
I wouldn't be so sure about better games. Better graphics, yes, but better games ? Previous systems have tons of awesome games, it's so frustrating that Sony forces you to have a seperate console for games you want to play. They have already shut down PS2, I hope that means they're working on either porting them or emulation.We already explained this.. It'd be a bad thing if they hadn't changed the architecture.

I disagree. I own an Xbox360 and a PS3.. PS3 has always been missing certain kinds of titles, and from their PS4 announcement they've already signed multiple developers that wouldn't touch the PS3 before.I wouldn't be so sure about better games.

I have a ps3 with true backwards compatability and I still hung on to my 2 ps2s (the disk drive in my fatboi died so I used it for FF XI) and bought a psx. That is what real gamers do.and its even more important to GAMERS in general.
I am not talking about PS3 only. Think about PS2 game library. I don't mind PS4 games, they will be fine, no doubts. But still there are games left on those "outdated" systems that I want to play even now.I disagree. I own an Xbox360 and a PS3..

Don't get me wrong; I love Uncharted.. But PS3 never had that giant smash hit title, unless it was something generic like BF or EA sports.
Now already they have Bungie and Blizzard.. And that's just Day 1 acquisitions. The benefits are already clear -- but they'll become even moreso over time.
Yeah, they will make PS2 games available at some point. Too much money in it not to.I am not talking about PS3 only. Think about PS2 game library. I don't mind PS4 games, they will be fine, no doubts. But still there are games left on those "outdated" systems that I want to play even now.
Well at the very least that means it's still backwards compatible with PS1 games, right?Update: Here's the world on games:

45 gigs. Yipes. Good to hear that discs will still be a primary distribution medium.
http://www.theverge.com/2013/2/25/4030298/every-playstation-4-game-will-be-available-to-download-subscription-possibilityWith the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable, you could certainly download quite a few games. With the new PlayStation 4, however, it sounds like digital downloads will be a primary method of distribution. Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida told The Guardian that every single PlayStation 4 title will be available digitally.
"PS4 will be similar to PS Vita in that every game will be available as a digital download, and some will also be available as a disc," he said in an interview last week.
And once Sony has a whole library of digital PS4 titles, Yoshida hinted, a subscription service might also be in the cards:
As more and more services and contents become available digitally, we'll have more of an option to create attractive packages. So hypothetically we can look at different models – like a cable TV company. We could have gold, silver or platinum levels of membership, something like that. We can do subscription services when we have more content – especially now that we have the Gaikai technology available. With one subscription you have access to thousands of games – that's our dream.
Gaikai cloud servers could wind up being key to Sony's strategy if the company's serious about digital distribution. While you can already download a bunch of full PS3 titles that normally ship on Blu-ray disc, they can easily top 10GB, with quite a few of them taking up 20GB or more. PlayStation 4 titles could be even larger. Blu-ray has a theoretical capacity of 50GB with a dual-layer disc, and Blu-ray XL fits 100GB. Those games could take a while to download in the United States, unless you live in Kansas City, and take up plenty of hard drive space.
However, with Gaikai's streaming game service and Sony's play-as-you-download tech, you could theoretically enjoy a subscription service without worrying about such things: simply stream or download as many bits as you need while you're playing. That's the dream, anyway.
That blonde chick is CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE
Yeah I was disappointed when I heard it was a fake, best fake Ive ever seen. And nice sig BTW, did you see this yet? http://grooveshark.com/#!/playlist/Daft+Punk+Random+Access+Memories/86439304Per IGN, that ad is 100% fake: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/05/13/this-fake-playstation-4-reveal-ad-is-awesome?abthid=51912ff1d04647050a000011
But in my eyes, it's still 100% AWESOME
Thanks. Link actually doesn't work for me, but I just got done listening to it via the iTunes stream. It's most certainly different. But I still managed to find a few tracks that I really liked.Yeah I was disappointed when I heard it was a fake, best fake Ive ever seen.
