Backwards Compatability

The PS3 is set for its European Launch this friday (23rd March). As with all new generation consoles, Playstation has released a list of the older games that will work on the new console, but will there actually be that many? With the launch of the Xbox 360 it was said that many Xbox games would work on it and a medium sized list of games was released. But when people got hold of the console and tried to play their older games, many on the list did'nt work. Only now are many of the games beginning to work, through downloads from Xbox Live. This annoyed many people, including myself. The Nintendo Wii on the other hand, appears to work for all Nintendo Gamecube games. In my opinion, the Wii basically has a Gamecube in it!!! It seems, from what has been said by SONY, that 1,700 games from the PS2 will work on the PS3. But will what happened to the 360 happen to the PS3? We will have to wait and see.
