Sony doesn't care about old people

Speaking with Gamesindustry.biz, SCEA's Scott Steinberg stated the company has no interest in getting old people into gaming.

Steinberg said that Sony has absolutely no intention of following Nintendo's example on trying to win over people who have never gamed before and are instead focusing on getting PS2 owners over to the PS3 camp.

"I think the reality is that we will win hands-down if we convert the PS2 owners to PS3," he said. "When we look at the total available market, we salivate at the notion of converting our existing PS2 universe.

"Every million units we drop into the PS2 is an annuity that's going to pay out later on for PS3 upgrades, and we've got some interesting ideas on how to reach out to those PS2 owners in the US and convert them up."
He went on saying that Sony's consoles have to be future-proof and not follow other companies' examples

"We would look at technology that helped enable that, as oppose to trying to iterate or be derivative off of somebody else's vision," he said. "Ten years - it goes back to our mantra of ten years. Technology that's associated with the PlayStation has to have future-proof qualities to it."
I'm not going to say anything about Sony following Nintendo's lead with motion-sensing but I do think this nicely explains why the 40G PS3 isn't backwards compatible. After all, that would mean looking at the past and not the future ;)
