<p>When Sony announced the PlayStation 4 yesterday, many fans were disappointed but understanding that the console will not be backwards compatible with bought PlayStation 3 titles even though Sony did suggest that they will be adding backwards compatibility in the form of cloud-streaming for a select quantity of old games spanning from the original PlayStation to the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3.</p>
<p>But what about all of that digital content you&#8217;ve purchased and tied to your PSN account over the years though? With PlayStation pushing a digital library of video games, DLC, movies etc onto gamers you can surly just port that over to your new console right? Wrong.</p>
<p>Speaking Endgadget earlier today, Shuhei Yoshida said that you will not be able to transfer your saved game data and library of PSN games to your new console.</p>
<p>Obviously, this will impact consumers decisions of what to do with their current PlayStation 3 console. Although it is irritating having to hold onto a console, after all it could help put down a large deposit to the new console, it looks like you have no choice if you want to enjoy all of your digital content and retail games.</p>
