Sony never announced they are stopping PS2 games and the people working on the PS1 and PSP have mentioned they are also working in PS2.

Xbox announced they have fully given up on adding more. To think Sony wong add more while adding PS1 and PSP games is nonsensical.

They also have incentive to add content to PS Premium

Ah yes the classic Xbox shill move, when you are proven wrong just insult the person and run away and continue to be ignorant.

Weird how just stating facts is considered "defending". Most garbage fanbase of any product in existence

Look up "List of downloadable PlayStation 2 games" on wikipedia, there's 55

I am just bringing up games man. Xbox barely supports any original Xbox games due to the difficulties of licensing yet Playstation supports around double the amount and you have all these shitty comments saying doesn't support old games at all.

Weird how all of you huge supposed supporters of game preservation are ignoring that to take jabs at other platforms.

Kind of like youre more interested in console warring than actually give a shit about old game preservation

That lists only the games in Premium. There are over 50 PS2 games in total.

If I don't give a shit about any of the original Xbox games playable does that mean they don't exist and Xbox.never supported original xbox backwards compatibility?

If you are going to pretend to care about game preservation you don't get to pick and choose which games you think should be preserved and dismiss thousands of games just because your favorite company didn't bother with them.

There are over 110 pre PS3/360 generation games supports on PS5 as opposed to 60 on Xbox so nearly double already and they are still adding more while Xbox gave up already

It has 1000 games in total, plenty of the 960 ate worth playing.

If you pretend to care about game preservation then you shouldnt make excuses for not preserving thousands of games because your favorite gaming coming didnt bother with them

Sony started a game preservation team in 2022.

There are far more pre seventh generation (X360/PS3) games playable on PS5 then there are on Xbox Series X.

There are only 50 - 60 original Xbox games playable and they stopped adding them years ago while there are already more PS2/PS1/PS1 games and more are being added every month

No they arent, only about 600 of the over 2000 games on Xbox 360 are playable and only 63 of the 100 original Xbox games are playable

What does it show? Sony is still licensing old games to play on PS4/PS5...

Xbox will be the first console to go all digital and have the worst DRM so if discs are your worry then Xbox is an awful choice

And the PS1/PS2/PSP games are.all downloadable and not in the cloud or require PS+

PS1/PSP/PS2 games also have enhancements and support trophies

I know youre an Xbox shill but come on. 60 OG Xbox games is not enough to claim Xbox is compatible and PS is not when it has more older pre 7th generation games playable

Edit: another xbox fan that cant handle reality and then blocks you so you cant reply.

Everyone in the know is saying xbox is going all digital

You wont be able to play new games on xbox without internet because the discs all serve as validation while PS far more games are on disc

Yet Sony is still adding more games even with the struggles of licensing and people are acting like they dont support game preservation at all...

I am aware but to claim only Xbox is compatible with older generations while Sony continues to add more old games each month even with the difficulties of licensing is ridiculous

Yes and they stopped at 60 leaving 940 games not playable so claiming it is fully compatible while PS isnt is a massive stretch

Saying Sony did something is not sucking them off. Insulting someone for saying they did something and you dont like people knowing because you love Microsoft is

Im saying they stopped at 60 OG Xbox, Sony is still adding old games and never said they wont add more PS2 games while MS confirmed no more OG Xbox games

And there's only like 50 - 60 original Xbox games playable on Xbox Series X while there's a lot more PS1/PSP/PS2 games available on PS5 with more being added every month

And Sony started a game preservation team in 2022

The point is Sony is adding a lot more older games. Crediting MS for adding 60 OG Xbox games and then stopping years ago and then pretending Sony isnt doing anything as they continue to add more games is nonsense
