Personally, I flat out don't believe it. They ripped USB ports out for cryin out loud to bring the PS3 price down out of the stratosphere. I'm also guessing that SCEA has little to do with design decesions for the PS3.

Even if it was true, only a complete idiot would come out and say so. He just created a shit ton of bad press for Sony and Blu-ray.

99% of consumers cou;dn't careless about bacjkwards compatibility.

Those that do will either buy a 60/80gb model or keep their PS2.

BC is a gimmick, it's the last point fanboys can latch onto to knock PS3.

I've been a gamer for 20+ years and don't know a single person who cares about BC, let alone gets on their high horse refusing to buy a sysyem because it's not included.

Hundreds of threads have been created discsussing why gamers aren't buying PS3, cost and quality PS3 games were the reasons given, I doubt BC sold 1% of consoles.
