How Sony Killed the PlayStation3, and NOT Just in Europe
Sony is dropping backward compatability with the PS2 to save costs -- first in the PAL version and soon in the NTSC version. They'll have "software emulation" to support "some" PS2 games. With a lack of ethusiasm for this platform among the game developers, the PS3 will be not much more than a cost-effective Blu-Ray Disc player. (By the way, Blu-Ray HD movies rock!)
This latest strategic error by Sony is the self-inflicted coup de grace for PS3. Microsoft will own the living room within 5 years.
I say that with the same certainty and resignation with which I said "Microsoft owns the office" in 1992.
1000 PS2 games playable at PAL PS3 launch
SW emulation was a failure on XBox360, so people remain skeptical.
