A software solution for PS3
backwards compatibility is not really feasible to do such without heavy investing and without many of the

There is no token ring elements control bit, thus it would have to be simulated in the GPU of the PS4 and than add in the PS4's GPU having to also render it's own graphic processing on top of simulation of the SPE's of the PS3... the PS4 is powerful but each of those SPE's are clicked in at over 3 Ghz!
