The PlayStation 4 will not have native backwards compatibility with games from past Sony systems.

During Sony's PS4 announcement event, Gaikai head Dave Perry said that the new console will not offer native support for PS3 games out of the box.

Instead, Gaikai is developing a cloud service that could offer PS3 games on the new console without the built-in hardware compatibility.

"The technology is so advanced that some day we could easily stream PS1, PS2, PS3 and the PS Mobile games on any device, including the PlayStation 4," Perry added.

Prior to the announcement, Gaikai registered domains for the name PlayStation Cloud, which was rumoured to be used for playing PS3 games on the new console. Those rumours turned out to be true.

The PS4 console itself will not be backwards compatible. But you could potentially play PS3 games via a cloud service. Whether this applies to games that you have currently downloaded/purchased to your PSN account, who knows.
