Sony has shot down hopes of PS3 games appearing on the PS4.

Responding to a tweet asking about the possibility, Sony Worldwide boss Shuhei Yoshida simply replied “no”.

That isn’t a huge surprise: Yoshida said as much back in June.

“It’s going to be super challenging to do so. I never say never, but we have no plans,” he said.

Sony recently polled PS4 users on the features they would like to see added to the machine, but backwards compatibility was not listed as an option.
