Well, it seems the last nail has been hammered into the proverbial coffin of backwards compatibility in future PS3 sku’s or updates. Read more for the quote from an email exchange between The Koalition and Sony.

Thanks for your email

When we removed backwards compatibility from PS3, we said that it would not be coming back as our priority was to make great next generation games.  I am not sure where you are getting your information from, but at no point did we say that there would be some sort of emulation being brought to PS3.  At no point has this strategy changed and therefore I can tell you that there are no plans to bring back backwards compatibility to PS3.  I think you will agree that the list of 1st party exclusive games for PS3 is growing quickly and the quality of them is great.  Games such as LittleBigPlanet, Motorstorm Pacific Rift, Resistance 2, GT5: Prologue and the up-coming Killzone 2 show that we are very serious about bring exciting, innovative and fun games to PS3.

Many thanks
