Sony is adding PlayStation 2 backwards compatibility to the PS4

The Universe became nicer, PS2 games will be playable on PS4.

Sorry Zelda, but it's decided, if I'd buy a new console it will be a PS4.
Now, if only, like Alpha said, it would be getting PS1 compatibility too, that would be freaking amazing.

Well even the PS3 had PS2 emulation (and I'm not talking about the early PS3 models) so this isn't that surprising.

It's kinda sad that no console will ever support PS3 backwards compatibility due to how much of a pain in the ass the hardware is.

What the hell do you mean by "PS3 disc reading software"? The PS4 can already detect PS3 discs.
