Sony America marketing man John Koller has told Kotaku that "Backwards compatibility is off the table,"
The man from America said to the site "People buy PS3s to play PS3 games, now that we're at a point where we're three years into the lifecycle of the PS3, there are so many PS3 disc-based games that are available that we think (and also noticed this from our research) that most consumers that are purchasing the PS3 cite PS3 games as a primary reason".
"And it's not just like 50 or 60 percent. It's well into the 80 or 90 percentile range... Most of those are consumers who have not utilized their PS2 for a little while and they're ready to jump into the PlayStation 3."
Koller also added that he expects the Slim PS3 to replace the fat one within a month, although he expects the160GB PS3s to stay on shop shelves a little longer.
