won't support backward compatibility for PlayStation 3 games??? what kind of Sh*t is that?!.....Hope that part just stays a rumor. -_-

too much time and money goes into what i play for them to not make the next gen consoles backward compatible i would be supper pissed to have start my game collection all over again.

not a bad name.

Durango and Orbis...these names are not making me excited for the next generation.

Interesting. I still don't believe in the next generation yet, honestly.

One of the reasons I bought a PS3 was so that I could have backward compatibility with my PS2 games. Then I found out that they removed that feature from the one I happened to buy. At that moment, Sony became idiots. Now they're talking about releasing a new console with no backward compatibility? After like 10 years or so of games that people have been buying? I'm just saying. It really isn't cool to have 4 or 5 consoles just sitting around in a cabinet.

even if this is the case,we all know it will be dubbed PS4.

Hopefully remains a rumour!

i hope that the ps4 would arrive soon.

I'm not going to give it much attention until Sony actually unveils and confirms anything but I have to say that I really hope the PS4 is backwards compatible and that the online pass thing is a lie. That said, despite being a long term Sony fan (at times borderline fanboy) I'm not even sure I'm going to buy the PS4, since by then I'll have my gaming rig built and as such the only reason to a buy a console is for the exclusives and I'm kinda leaning towards Nintendo on that department. We'll see.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I need backwards compatibility!!! I hope this is wrong!!!!

rumor. calm down you lot.

I think Sony wants the PS4 to work with the 2160p HDTV. I wouldn't mind, but I'm not on the market for a new HDTV any time soon

wasn't orbis clanks father in a crack in time

its great news and all but, sony is going to have sever profit loss if its pridicting on 2013 its still too soon for a sony consle its just too soon sony not yet !, not just yet , i think there should be backwards compatibility that featuer is what made the playstation 2 so great

IF this rumor is true...that name is ridiculous...why wouldn't they just call it PS4?

I hope they make these new consoles more affordable or else I'm sticking with my current gen consoles a while longer. That might not be a bad idea actually. (Hence the disaster with Xbox 360 releasing faulty consoles and Ps3 release causing riots) In fact, I didn't get my first xbox 360 until holiday 2006. After going through 3 of those, I bought a Ps3 in 2010. The slim, of course (after hearing about Ps3 fat models having problems). It took both Microsoft and Sony about 5 years to release a reliable slim model; so that seems like a good reason to wait awhile for the next consoles.

orbis means city in latin, im intrigued why they chose this particular name....wait and see. but why no backward compatibility? we dont wanna have too many consoles laying around in the house.i think bc is very necessary to new consoles, it allow us to keep our games and get ride of the consoles to free some space, enjoy cheaper games from previous generation etc...

Either way, the next Sony console will likely be officially called Playstation 4, and I for one won't be buying an early model like I did with the PS3(I still can't believe I've had this 40gig for so long).

I love Sony and their games, but their consoles are getting ridiculous in their features or lack there of. No back compatibility?!! I desperately hope that part of the rumor is false. Plus I'm getting horrible visions of this thing costing $800-$900.
