As none of the new hardware is available for any of us to inspect - surely 
any talk of backwards compatability that both major players intend to 
accomplish using software (although one to a lesser degree - Ken Kutaragi: 
It will be done through a combination of hardware and software - lifted from 
Rage6c's OP) is a little pointless? We are all GUESSING at how well or badly 
the two will do are we not?

Just a thought...
