One year ago, EGM ran a cover feature which really hammered on the perceived flaws of the PlayStation 3 ("perceived" in the sense that... well, you know Sony). Now, their latest issue looks to the future in a feature which includes an interview from two of the Sony brass.
Within, Marketing VP Peter Dille stated that backward compatibility was important to Sony, which is why you can still find a model on the market that still has those features? How important? $100 more, apparently, for that higher-end model.
PSN Operation Director Eric Lempel chimes in with news that downloadable PS2 titles may even be possible on versions of the system that don't contain the backwards compatibility. "There are possibilities through technology and software emulation to make that possible."
Editor's Take: Wait, are they saying that they might be able to sell us downloads of games we already own on a console that could play them before, but can't now?
