GC09: Keine Abwärtskompatibilität und kein Linux für PS3

In einem Interview gab John Koller bekannt das es entgegen aller Gerüchte KEINE Abwärtskompatibilität zu PS2 Spielen geben wird. Zitat:

Do we need to stop yapping about backwards compatibility?
\"It\'s not coming back, so let me put that on the table,\" Koller says with an air of finality. But it\'s all people ever talk about!
\"It\'s not as big as a purchase intent driver as you may be hearing,\" he claimed. \"We\'ve got such a substantial lineup of titles on the PS3; most people are buying the PS3 for PS3 games. They\'ve buying it for PS3 games and Blu-ray movies.\"
\"That won\'t be returning,\" he repeats.“

Weiterhin erläutert er warum die „Linux installieren“ Funktion entfernt wurde:

Why was the ability to install Linux removed from the system?
\"There are a couple of reasons. We felt we wanted to move forward with the OS we have now. If anyone wants to use previous models and change the OS, they can do so.\" Koller said. \"We wanted to standardize our OS.\"
