I suspect that either the PS6 won't be backwards-compatible at all, will only have disc drives as a peripheral, or perhaps Sony is banking on people just ponying up for digital copies of games they already own on disc.
Of course, this comes in the aftermath of Sony's announcement that they're deleting hundreds of Studio Canal films purchased (not rented!) from Playstation digital stores due to some licensing reasons. No refunds. You don't even own the stuff you've "bought" apparently. One can only imagine what that might mean for games that have, say, music licenses expire, or the fate of licensed IPs in general going forward.
