Played quite a few titles without issue, but a few friends have had some of the stuttering and fps problems that this update seemed to have corrected. Sweet!


Meanwhile, Sony simply says "no" to backwards compatibility on the ps4, and nothing has changed since that statement in late 2015.

Personally I love not having to turn on my 360 more and more, and am optimistic for the future as more games become available.

Try harder.

"Additionally, in an even cooler turn, the Xbox One recognizes the physical discs of 36o releases—that is, if they’re currently in the catalog—and transfers the game onto the hard drive. Plus, the 360 games will also take advantage of Xbox One features like DVR, screenshots, and live broadcasting."

Sony only "simply said no" if you take that one Twitter response out of context.

You are right, my apologies.

"I don't think we will change our approach," Yoshida said. "The PlayStation 4 doesn't have backward compatibility."

"Backward compatibility is hard," Yoshida explained. "I won't say we'll never do it, but it's not an easy thing to do. If it was easy we would have done that."

It's okay. I forgive you.
