playgirlz has a state of the PlayStation 3 (PS3) address, and in it they say:

It’s thought that a total of 47 games (9 PS2 and 38 PS) might not be compatible with the PS3. The main problems seem to be glitches in particular spots in the games, such as screen hang-ups, but also include annoyances such as slow saving times to the memory cards.

Now I try to stay pretty up to date on PS3 information (obviously), but this one missed me. No link is given, so it’s hard to give this statistic too much credence, but who knows.

If it is true, it’s a very encouraging number. 9 PS2 and 38 PS games not playing on the PS3? Those are pretty good numbers, if you ask me.
