Okay, I can somewhat agree with you about the validity of the importance of the PS2 -> PS3 brand loyalty - but the survey doesn't tell you anything about the intentions wrt 360 of non-Xbox owners - which is where the difference between Xbox and Xbox360 sales will come from.
Backwards compatibility doesn't mean much in the long term, which is when these tens of millions will be achieved - the PS2 had its amazing growth in its last 2-3 years, and hardly anyone played PS1 games then. I think in the first year or two when BC matters, the outrageous prices of the next-gen consoles will trump the BC card.
