In all honesty, this would be really stupid....
I dunno if they should keep or ditch UMD to be honest but, if you're going to take it away make a new format then like...Another slot that is EXACTLY like the memory stick slot, in fact make the games on a Memory Stick DUO and have one slot for the game other for Memory Stick or something...
I only say that because I'd like to have the games with me, and not a stupid download >.>
Plus the games would run better and all that, yeah.

Actually, most of sony's stuff has been bc, the ps2 could play ps1 discs, and you usually can find one of the ps3's that has bc, and they even made a memory card converter so that you can transfer your ps2/x save files

Nintendo on the other hand, made the nes, then the snes couldn't play nes games, then the n64 couldn't play snes or nes games, and... well you get the picture, the wii is the only exception since it can play gamecube games, but if you want to play nes, snes, or n64 games on it then you have to buy them again

As for Xbox, well... they tried.

Yes, and most people have the expectancy of Sony consoles to have BC.
Everyone thinks BC will return to PS3(we hope), and it's highly possible and expected.

Maybe Sony can sell or include a UMD reader that connects to the PSP4K via USB (or add a faster data port to the new PSP), then DRM it so you can only use the UMD reader to copy games. Making a PS1 CD reader would be great as well (but probably wishful thinking).

50 million PSP's sold worldwide.

20 million PSN accounts. (and that's PS3+PSP!!).

That means there's at least 30million PSP's which don't connect.

I can't see Sony dropping at least 60% of their customers. (30 million)
