This is quite funny, Sony always said the PS3 would be perfectly compatible with PS2 games. Well today Sony admitted that some PlayStation 2 games don't work properly on the new PlayStation 3 console. Sony doesn't give any numbers but it looks like it will be about 200 games, including some of the popular Final Fantasy and Gran Turismo games.
The compatibility issue affects graphics in some of the games and causes audio difficulties in others.
Sony has stated that it will try to remedy these problems by posting upgrades online, but company officials have refused to specify the number or titles of the problem-games, BBC News informs.
Problems surfacing immediately after a launch are not something new in the world of consoles. Last year, after Microsoft launched Xbox 360, there were numerous complaints from customers relating to the overheating of the source, which led to dysfunctions.
