It will be only after they stop ps3 production that they might consider a ps3 emulator, and even so it will most likely be like ps2 emulation on the ps3: exclusive to psn bought games
Lol, the only thing i have bought as a ps3 game would be Infamous: festival of blood, which is on psn only aha
so itd be pretty useless.

The launch PS3's were backwards compatible with PS2 games because they had the Emotion Engine in them. If Sony was to put the Cell inside the PS4, then the price of the PS4 would jump about $150.
Why would that be? Isn't the CELL dated Technology or for some reason that Technology has aged good enough for it to still cost a pretty penny? :mrgreen:

When did PS3 come out? Back in 2006, which means that the Cell is now nearly 7 yearts old! :lol:

Doesn't really matter... Cell isn't used in other technologies and Sony custom-made it (cost them tons of money too).
