Sony paid 380million dollars for Gaikai so that they could make that money back by selling YOU PS1/2/3 games via PS-NOW

They have NO history of giving a shyt about its customer base, from ignoring the Disc Read Error issues that plagued the PS2, the yellow light error problem with the PS3, or even when PSN went down, they said there lack of security isn't their fault.

So if you think they will do any of what you suggest? My questioon to you is what you gonna do if they don't? Support them like you always do (You meaning sony fans as a collective) if that is the case, you gotta look at company trends. Sony is not an innovator in that space. They like to copy what the competition is doing. So if backwards compatibility beomces a big enough issue you'll get it in some form.

The problem is in a console war, emotions makes gamers say a lot of things. The popular trend is for a sony gamer to say backwards compatibility isn't an issue. Sony is listening and hoping you're saying such things. They looking for any excuse NOT to do it. 380million dollars is at stake. I wouldn't be surprised if sony has people flooding message boards with that exact message :francis:
and I'm sure it would have costed less than $380 million to develop whatever tech was necessary to implement real, insert disc, backwards compatibility in the PS4, or even the XBOX solution of inserting the disc to prove ownership and downloading the digital copy from their network.
 

PS5 Pro

I'm not sure what your point is here BD :wtf:

Doing what you suggested would take away a reason to CHARGE YOU AGAIN for it :snoop:

Xbox uses disc to verify you actually own the game :dwillhuh:

I'm gonna slowly back out this secret entrance over here........................................................ ->

A thread for this tho :dwillhuh:

Sony has already said on numerous occasions there will be a PS5
And anyone with a brain can tell you there won't be a PS4pro-X-turbo

Slow news day eh? Well, I dropped my 2. I'll let you gentleman speculate...
Will you change your username to @PS5 tho? :lupe:
