European PS3 to Play Over 1,000 PS2 Titles

The mention of “thousands” of titles piqued our interest, as the thousands could come from PSone titles alone. For a ballpark figure for PS2 games, Harrison says, “The situation is changing every day, but on March 23, we expect the list to include over 1,000 PS2 titles,” adding that it’s Sony “policy” to be concentrating compatibility on the biggest PS2 blockbusters.

Better than expected, but is it good enough? More popular titles will likely work, but if you have real obscure ones, it will be iffy. Hopefully, unlike Microsoft, Sony will make it a priority to update the backwards-compatible list regularly.
