* Will it be backward compatible with all older PlayStation games? 

Yes, the PlayStation 2 will be able to play original PlayStation 
games. Because the system's I/O (input/output) processor is 
essentially the core (main processor) of the original PlayStation, 
the system will use this processor to insure backward compatibility 
with all existing PlayStation games. Sony will most likely continue 
to institute the territorial lockout to make sure that only US 
PlayStation 2s play original US PlayStation games.

* Will it use existing PlayStation peripherals, like controllers and 
memory cards? 

Yes. While the PlayStation 2 will have its own specific controllers, 
memory cards and peripherals, all original PlayStation memory cards, 
controllers -- even the PocketStation -- will work on the PlayStation 
2. This will insure 100% backward-compatibility. In fact, at the 
conference on March 2, 1999 in Japan, the PlayStation 2 
demonstrations were being controlled by a standard Dual Shock 
controller.
