It's an excellent system, and since the last generation is still good in physical form, there's no reason to diss it. I really don't get your argument against it, because I don't see a clear one...

The argument isn't for or against the revolution, don't confuse the issue.
The debate here is which company is best does backwards compatability best.
As I understand, not only will PS2 play PS1 games, but it can use the same controllers and memory cards. (Assuming that the PS3 follows in it's footsteps you could indeed play your favourite PS1 games on a PS3 then go and finish your game on an old school PS1).
By the same token, you can switch between the DS and the GBA to play your GBA games.
And if we're not going to limit backwards compabillity to the physical carts/CDs
then heck,
DreemCast is backwards compatable with PS1 games
My DS plays GB, NES and SNES games
XBOX one plays - NES/SNES/N64 etc?
PSP plays - NES/SNES/GBA
Sorry ShadowMarth, emulation is a sliperly slope
