And actually, I expect the cost of this console to greatly reflect the pricing of those that upgrade their phones yearly. $399. It could be more, but I expect that Sony will take a loss on launch unit as they always have, just to get them in people's living rooms. Phones need big back-end upgrades too, and they charge monthly for it..to the tune of $60 a month or so for most. Oh look..games cost $60...

Well I know a few people who like backwards compatibility. Like you said I personally wouldn't care myself BUT I do know there are people out there that do. Hell I know my wife wouldn't let me get a WiiU if it couldn't play all the old games we spent money on........women just don't get it. They are all about budgeting and making sense....NOOBS
I might get a PS3 now so I can play some of those exclusives I've always wanted too like Killzone, Ratchet and Clank etc.
