Passing the Torch

Mission One’s Commentary:

This is, of course, referencing the move to do backwards compatibility via software instead of hardware. Quite a bit of controversy with that one, wasn’t there?

RKasa adds:

Yes, there was. At first, all PS2 backwards compatibility was removed for newer models of the PS3, with software emulation coming in later. However, this move to a software-based solution led to a lot of uncertainty over what games worked well with it. As such, PS3s with hardware-based backwards compatibility became (and still are) highly prized items.
