Why the PS4 is going to be dead in the water

The PS4 was just announced – without an actual console or pricing. But that’s not the worst part – the worst part, the part that is going to kill it is this: no backwards compatibility with PS3 games except through streaming.

The PS4 just signed its own death warrant – there is no way every house in the PS3′s demographic is wired for that kind of bandwidth. Especially in Asia.

I dont even understand why the Sony execs would take a step like this – Especially with the Steam box/”Piston” and the SHIELD device, the console makers are already threatened.

And now they eliminate the single biggest reason to stick with the Playstation platform – sunken costs of game titles.

I personally cant wait for Valve’s Piston – especially if it is going to be Android based.
