When responding to questions about whether the SCPH-75000's
backward-compatibility issues heralded similar problems with Sony's next-gen
console, she demurred. "It's hard to say the PlayStation 3 will be 100

were unsuccessful as of press time.

And I also think Microsoft is pretty franke about Vista's backwards
compatibility capability. Again, I don't know what promise you think was
broken.
