It's not quite what you may want in terms of backwards compatibility, but it's a damn nice alternative. In 2014, the Gaikai service will bring PlayStation 3 games to the PlayStation 4.
It will utilize Gaikai's cloud services to provide PlayStation 4 owners with access to PlayStation 3 titles. The full details, as they are known presently, can be viewed at IGN live from the Tokyo Game Show 2013.
At the start, a selection of games will be made available. Over time, obviously, the number of titles will grow. This means that PS3 titles will be playable on the PlayStation 4, PS Vita, and the Vita TV. While it is said to arrive in 2014 in North America, an exact date is not yet known.
