If its such a problem, why not just keep your ps3?
Because a PS3 is not going to work three years down the line.

And when PSN shuts down (and it will eventually), people will lose entire digital collections of bought games. Playstation Plus subscribers especially.

It's not only about whether one specific console plays this or won't play that, it's also people slowly realising all-digital is maybe not that great after all if something like this is going to keep happening. Consider all that DLC separated content that's coming with and to retail games nowadays, if it indeed comes to PSN content not being compatible with PS4/PSW.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

PS4 doesn't use PSN.

And I'm guessing since a lot of downloadable games on PSN are just PS3 games in downloadable form, if retail games won't work, downloadable games won't either. Pretty sure it's both an architecture thing as well as a business thing. They can't guarantee compatibility on all (if any) of the titles, so they won't bother at all, just like they did with removing the emulation BC for PS2 games on PS3.

As for the Vita, the downloadable PS3 games don't work on Vita. You can't even download them on it. They just often have PS3 and Vita versions of a game and sometimes support crossbuying in hopes of getting more Vita sales so when you buy one, you also get the other, but it's never the same files, and not for all titles.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
