Why did Sony remove Backwards Compatibly?

Since the announcement of the PS3 40GB and how it will not have BC with Last generation PS2 games people have been going all “OMG!!11 Ze world is ovah!!111, Another nail in Sony’s coffin, Annoying/putting off consumers by removing features = getting it right”. Now, these are some of the comments, well Sony can not be that stupid to remove BC without having a reason. Well there is a reason, and Sony knows they have to take a chance on this idea of theirs.

The 40GB PS3 will not have BC with PS2 games, but PS1 you will have BC as it has always been through software. They removed this to save some $$, you guys (and maybe gals) know what this is right? Its the green things in your pocket or err….the green things that had in your pocket, but you gave the nice gals that dance for you the rest of your money (). Now, Sony is trying to play this smart, they want something that is cheaper for the consumers, that still has its original PS3 roots. Like a Blu-Ray drive, Wireless Internet, HDMI ports, and a more. So instead they removed the BC with PS2 games, Memory card readers, and 2 USB ports. The removal of 2 USB ports may save them $2-5 per console and removing the memory reader ports may also save them about $30-45 per console, but BC with the PS2 may save them more. Now now, get your head out of your as* and in a few weeks we will see if BC is a big issue. If people are buying 40GB’s and sales are better than before then it means that they don’t care for BC and that their PS2 is good enough for them to be as their very own BC machine. If it is a big issue and the 40Gb is not selling well, then Sony needs to do some thinking again about bring BC to the 40GB via software like how the X360 does it. This will help them cut costs, but to this extent, so lets hope Sony is not that stupid not to make a wrong decision at this point, as it would not be good for them.
