As much as Yahtzee bangs on about indie games, you think he'd have at least thrown Sony a bone for showing some good support for indie development on their platform... As opposed to Microsoft's "No publisher, no go" mantra for the Xbone.
And I also have to point out that, realistically, backwards compatibility was never a sustainable feature, and was pretty much a lightning strike of luck on Sony when the PS2 hit, since the PS1 hardware was essentially a hamster wheel and some string they chucked inside the PS2, that didn't even need proper cooling when it was sitting inside the PS1, allowing Sony to marry two of the largest video game libraries in history. As we've gone forward, the architectures have just gotten too complex and expensive for "chucking the guts inside the next-gen console" to really be feasible anymore, and emulation isn't a reliable alternative - hell, PS2 emulation has still got plenty of kinks to iron out, to say nothing of attempting to emulate the PS3 and its obnoxious Cell. So you could argue that Sony should've tried to put PS3 innards inside a PS4, but then you'd get to deal with a unit that probably would've been much larger, much hotter, and gone from $100 cheaper than the Xbone to $100 more expensive. Remember how well that worked out for Sony at the PS3's launch?
On the other hand, Gaikai will apparently provide an equivalent to PS3 backwards compatibility, but I'll believe it when I see it. And as someone who swapped his 360 video input from HDMI to component just to reduce the video lag, I'm not exactly confident in the idea of playing games on a remote system.
Still, I enjoyed the video overall. The analogy at the start was all too apt, and it's why I've found Sony's "victory" at this E3 to be so entertaining. At the very least, this E3 was still far more enjoyable than those in recent years; some good 'ole fashioned mudslinging has really helped liven things up.
