The PlayStation 3 could be backwardly compatible with pretty much every original PS2 and PSone game according to IBM’s Tom Reeves, the man who’s in charge of semiconductor and technology services at IBM.
Speaking to Electronic News, Reeves, who was discussing the intricacies of PS3 chip design and manufacture, said, “Sony are very concerned about quality and backward compatibility. They want to get this right. They tested game after game after game. When there were about 40 Playstation One games that didn’t work properly, that didn’t pass their criteria for quality.” Do you still have your PS1 games? I do 🙂
