Alyxx Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 But like I said, if they look at historical sales numbers, the best selling consoles of all time all have had pretty decent backwards compatibility. Not saying that's why they sold so well, but it is a good selling point. If they think backwards compatibility is gonna hurt sales, then they're far too focused on software sales.

The Blackangel Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I was talking to the guy at GameStop today, and he said the PS5 is definitely reverse compatible with PS4 games, according to Sony. But as for older systems they haven’t given an official statement. But it’s expected to be reverse compatible back to PS3, due to PS3 being a blu-ray system. As for PS2 and PS1, there’s no official statement yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyxx Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Yeah of course and they are selling enough consoles to justify it obviously. But I'm calling they'll never see legendary sales figures unless they listen to what people want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blackangel Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Sony has officially said that the PS5 will be 100% compatible with all PS4 games. The games have done and sold so well they wanted players to be able to continue with the games they already have. As for PS3, there's speculation, but nothing official yet. But that's only because PS3 is a Blu-ray system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyfire Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I think retro games are mostly played these days on PC. So the retro based games in emulator would be better choice over PS 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
