Wow, this statement is completely false.
If that was true then explain the "PSOne Classics" section of the PSN. Explain why Microsoft is launching the "Games on Demand" which allows you to not only download newer games but older XBOX games as well.
SONY patented something a few months ago that would allow the PS3 to not emulate, but literally understand PS2 media. This fix is distributable through a rather simple firmware update. When SONY will release this is highly debatable, but it's coming.
When the 360 first release almost every "firmware" update was to help increase the backwards compatibility issues they were having with some of original XBOX games. It's rather funny, my friend has the HALO 360, but his console is incapable of playing HALO or HALO 2.
Backwards compatibility is an issue with ANY console
