@Just_Ben, I believe the PS3 would still be able to emulate PS2 games through software if the GS is also removed, however the amount compared to units with the GS would probably drop by some percentage. I wonder if Sony will continue to spend money on software emulation or just settle with what can be done easily. I don't see much reason for them to spend money on BC at this point, anyone who wants to play a PS2 game on a PS3 probably has a PS2 and PS2 will be cheaper new, and even more especially used for years to come.
