Backward Compatibility in Next-Gen Consoles?

Posted by simoniker on from the speculate-away dept.

jvm writes "A new article at Curmudgeon Gamer speculates on the prospects for backward compatibility in the upcoming generation of video game consoles. Sony's PlayStation 3 will reportedly play both PSOne and PlayStation 2 games, but how it will achieve this is unknown. Building from the facts we know and the rumored specifications, can we look forward to replaying Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker on the GameCube 2 and Halo on the Xbox 2?"

    I've only tried to play 1 PS game on my PS2 - XCom ... and it didn't support the PS2 save cards.

    So if it was flawless, I'd probably be hyped about it, but I don't entirely trust it anymore.
