Not that it was easy to make backwards compatibility work in the PlayStation 2, according to an article on the subject by Tetsuya Iida and translated by Tom James. The PS2 also had the PS1 sound chip built-in. The main processor from the PS1 was used in the PS2 as an input/output processor. Part of the reason the PlayStation 2 had backwards compatibility is that it had most of the original PlayStation inside of it. This set a precedent where, to this day, gaming console buyers often expect backwards compatibility with older games in newer systems. Moving from the original PlayStation to the PlayStation 2, one of the big benefits was being able to play old games on the new system. You also get access to many high-quality games that can only be played on PlayStation devices. You get a consistent controller layout, meaning you don’t need to re-learn which buttons are where with every generation. Sony’s PlayStation series of gaming consoles have a lot going for them.
