    With Microsoft’s big Xbox One overhaul bringing Xbox 360 backwards compatibility to the console, the question of PlayStation 3 backwards compatibility has returned for PlayStation 4 users.

    With Sony’s Paris Games Week press conference behind us, the press attending the event have had the chance to ping various folks at the publisher.

    When responding to a fan on their PlayStation France Twitter, Sony worldwide studios boss Shuhei Yoshida was quite firm in his answer to PS3 games running on PS4, via backwards compatibility:

    “No,” said the Sony boss, while also giving a coy smile. When it comes to PlayStation One and PlayStation 2 games, Yoshida said there was “no news to announce about PS1 and PS2 classics on PS4,’ when speaking to Dualshockers.
