PS4 Not Inherently Backwards Compatible

This one’s a little disappointing (though not surprising due to the PS4’s x86 architecture).

Sony’s newly announced Playstation 4 will not be backwards compatable… at least with your current discs. Instead a ‘Playstation Cloud’ service has been unveiled, which when released will stream titles from the PS1, PS2, and PS3 catalogues.

Gaikai founder David Perry stated that he wants the console to stream “everything ever”, but no specific dates were revealed for just when that will happen. Services are set to be rolled out gradually.

I guess I need to finish all of my untouched PS3 games before this hits shelves!
