Gamecube worked with Wii
Wii U worked with Wii.
Sony console <1994 didn't even exist.
Also Nintendo DS does work with 3DS.

Except Vita and PS3 are sold separately and their combined prices reach up to 1000$, if you bought PS3 on its launch date with the 600$ price tag. Why do i count the PS3's launch price? Because Wii U is on its launch price right now and it wouldn't be fair to compare.

PS3 was 600$ on release, if we count the inflation and whatever thingiemajigs of whatevers cha blablebbers (disclaimer: no actual research has been made) it would be around 550$.

You have to physically include previous console parts in your new console for backwards compatibility (except for when Microsoft used a software wrapper but not all games were supported). The original PS3 was completely compatible with PS2 games because it literally had the essentials of a PS2 inside of it.
The PS3 Slim had the PS2's components removed. Notice how the price dropped, too? It's cheaper to make when you don't include backwards compatibility.
If the PS4 was backwards compatible with PS3 it would be crazy expensive because in essence there would be a PS3 INSIDE your PS4.

backwards compatability is an issue but come on guys-if you want to play ps3 games, just use your ps3

The Black Wiis don't have backwards compatibility, sadly

Yeah I'm not making the mistake of selling my PS3 like I did with my PS2.
