I have a PS2. I don't play it nearly as often as I do my PS3, but I still do sometimes. If the PS4 comes out this year, I figure I'll get one in 2015 or '16. My PS3 will keep me highly entertained, especially since I seriously doubt PS3 releases will just stop when the new console comes out. They sure didn't with the PS2 - see this? Yeah, that's a game that came out 3 months ago.

So the sky is not falling. Even if they do that rumored "always have to be online" thing so as to neuter the secondhand games market.
I don't get it either, but apparently it's a big issue with a lot of people. Just read some of the Yahoo comments. All the top comments are people complaining about no backwards compatibility and it's the same on many other sites. I don't understand the logic at all and I suppose if it escalates enough, Sony might consider making the PS4 backwards compatible (at least a limited amount like they did for the PS3, to shut people up about it not being backwards compatible), even though there's really no need for it. It's not a necessity, it's a feature.

I mean I wouldn't mind having that feature, but at the same time, it's not like it's a major inconvenience that it doesn't have it.
