New consoles = Old console death?

That's the point I was tryin' to portray but supposively they are gonna release some software that'll make all games compatible.....pssh.

Software...they have a software fetish...bastards...

Why don't they just put an XBox inside the 360 like Sony did with the PS2?

Not a clue...wait, SOny put an Xbox inside the PS2!!!

Gotta love ambiguity...

But...yes...we were saying??

You know what I meant. PS1 inside the PS2 to ensure backward compatibility. I wonder if there is going to be a PS2 in the PS3.

Yes, I know...

Maybe they'll do that...but surely it's only a case of having the right type of drives (CD-Rom and DVD-Rom)...no??

Not exactly. Both the Xbox and the PS2 have DVD-ROM drives, but they can't play eachother's games (without modding) because they don't have the software built-in to recognize and run the other system's games. Also, the PS3 is going to use a Blu-Ray drive which is different than DVD but will without a doubt be backward compatible just like DVD was with CD since they will use lasers to read discs.
