ok. So the huge change this generation is, they went AMD. The CPU architecture is completely changed.
thus, yeah, backwards compatibility is pretty much impossible. However, we would probably see more PlayStation /pc compatibility since the CPU runs a similar architecture.
but because of this, I am willing to bet that this console generation would be much shorter. There is less performance to "squeeze out of the chips"
