But he never said it was guaranteed which is why I said it didn't seem to be finalized yet. But beyond their goal of bringing the entire Playstation library of games to multiple devices they have to be working on some sort of backwards compatibility solution for the PS4. It seems highly unlikey they would abandon that completely. But we probably won't get more solid details until sometime closer to launch.
I think you're engaging in wishful thinking. Both the presentation today and the leaked info in sources like the Wall Street Journal made it pretty clear that the PS4 is not backward compatible and the only way to play PS3 games will be through some type of Gaikai driven streaming effort. There is a big difference between making the library available on multiple devices and backward compatibility.
