Haxor!
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Is it just digital? Can it take a disk? What about titles that aren't digital yet like some of the older games? Would there be a program out there that could take a ps title from disk to digital form and have it work on a ofw ps3 or ps4?

I'm going to be an a**hole but dude you're late. No, it's not backwards compatible and the reason why, based on a video ive seen, is because making the ps4 backwards compatible would decrease its hardware performance which would either make it the same as xbox one or maybe less. And I don't understand why people would wanna sacrifice that just to play a game that wont even utilize the next gen hardware to its limits. That's what you keep your ps3 for.. Aren't you buying the next gen console to PLAY NEXT GEN GAMES?

No
And no
And no

Different hardware makes it a pain in the butt to do. Also this was talked about at E3 and before that.
