SiliconEra: "PlayStation 2's use the emotion engine as a processor, which was removed from PS3s to save money. This killed off PS2 backwards compatibility, but Sony has a new software solution.
A patent filed by Sony has a method for the cell processor to emulate the emotion engine which can bring PS2 backwards compatibility to all PS3s.
There aren’t too many reasons why Sony would want the PS3’s Cell processor to emulate the PS2’s Emotion Engine and the key one is backwards compatibility."
