Will the playstation 4 be able to play ps3 ps2 and ps1 games?

There is no PlayStation 4 and the PlayStation 3 stopped because of the cost, so it is very unlikely that any machine after the 80 GB model number CECHF01 will ever be made again. That machine though very expensive retail sold at a loss for Sony. Making a emulation program for the PS2 still does not work on every game or without considerable effort 11 years after the PS2s release. The PS3 is a much more difficult system to develop emulation for and might not be done for 20 years so the PS4 would not be able to have even the Partially software based emulation used on the PS3 for the PS2 games

Will PS4 allow you to play ps3 games?

Can you play ps3 games on a ps4?

In short, no. Sony haven't released any information regarding a PS4 yet, so we can only assume that you cannot. It is highly likely you will be able to play PS3 games on it, that is - if it really comes out.
