It may not use the same I/O, or the same emotion engine, but they could still microsize a basic architecture similar to the PS2 and place that in there to handle the backwards compatibility. You are correct, they only did add the feature as an afterthought, after saying they would not, and only because it was easy to do. However, it's changed now. With MS prepairing to make their next system backwards compatible, and with the people expecting such a thing from the PS3 after the PS2 did it, Sony may just be forced to include it. Then, Nintendo will be forced to follow. No prob by me, as I'm all for it.
Oh, and yes ABF, 8GB isn't that much. However, 40 is, and unless I heard wrong (which is very likely), the PS2 HD has a capacity of 40 GB. I do believe future consoles will have larger drives. That's not something I'm worried about them not doing.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
