PlayStation 4 Not Backwards Compatible With Retail or Digital Games
However, you *will* be able to play PS1, PS2 and PS3 games on the PlayStation 4 by downloading them. The PlayStation 4 will include the services Gaikai. They offer cloud storage, and this is where you will most likely buy your old games from. The bad thing is, if you already own a game and you want to play it on the PS4, you will have to buy it from the online store in order to play it.
“There are two ways to play legacy content: emulation, or cloud services from Gaikai. But native support of digital games from PS3, no, sorry. It doesn’t work.”

ReductionMTVZwrqNGT This kind sucks.....
I agree...
Sad, but true.
You gotta give them some slack, at least you can download games onto the PS4 from previous consoles.
It isn't hard to make a console read discs...

TollMyBB Wow that sucks. It would be cool if people on Xbox 720 could play with people on PS4.
Would be cool but it would never happen
I never see that happening... :/

Well... if this type of news keeps coming, I think that more and more people are going to PC. This is getting stupid. You can't play our old games on the new boxes... PC's can!

Rule34 The next Xbox will do better unless later models of the PS4 regain these features.
Eh, Xbox would already have sales by then.
