Play Station 4 is apparently riding the trend of backwards compatibility amidst Xbox's success over their version of the said feature.

According to the Tech Times, Sony recently considered integrating some of their choice games on PS2 to be made available on the current next-gen PlayStation 4. 

The Pan European Game Information was the first to leak some of the games that will be featured by Sony and this includes "Twisted Metal: Black," "Dark Cloud 2" and "Ape Escape 2." If the compatibility feature pushes through, it will be likely that the three PlayStation 2 classic games will only be available on digital download. 

Sony's Shuhei Yoshida admitted that the backward compatibility might have come sooner than later if not for the intricate process of integration to their gaming consoles. In his statement, he also said that at the moment, PlayStation 4 is all about developing games, their services and a better gaming experience to their consumers. 

Apparently, the backwards compatibility feature is not a priority on their side, but now, it seems like they're testing their foot towards the trend.

PlayStation 4, amidst rumors of its backward compatibility feature, continues to thrive in developing HD-quality gaming consoles. They also tend to provide their fans with exclusive bundles that guarantee their satisfaction and also lessen the impact of Xbox's huge success in the backwards compatibility area. 

Meanwhile, Xbox's success on integrating older games to the new Xbox One did not happen overnight. In fact, according to Attack of the Fan Boy, Xbox went through several issues before they settled on working with the backwards compatibility issue. 

Microsoft also suggests that the backwards compatibility feature is just another way of saying that they do listen to their consumers. In an interview with Microsoft's Kudo Tsunoda, he said, "I think you can see that we listen, and that is a big influence on the big features that we deliver. For example, our announcement at E3 that Xbox One would support backwards compatibility with Xbox 360, I mean, that was the most highly requested fan feature and something that people were asking us about at the launch of Xbox One." 

The backwards compatibility feature of Xbox One has also been regarded as Microsoft's effort to keep their Xbox 360 consumers within their circle and to invite those who never experienced the Xbox madness. 

PlayStation 4 has been dominating the world of gaming consoles, but the question remains, will Xbox's over a hundred backwards-compatible games lift them up?
