Euro PS3 to play fewer PS2 titles

    The PS3 is due to go sale in Europe on 23 March.

    The console was supposed to be "backwards compatible", meaning all older PS and PS2 games should work on the new console.

    But the European PS3 utilises a new combination of hardware and software emulation in which software takes over some of the functionality that was previously taken care of by dedicated chips.

    This means that while European gamers will be able to play a wide range of original PlayStation titles on the PS3, there will be a limited number of PS2 games that will be compatible with the new console.
