The original PS3 systems (First Generations, 20GB and 60GB) can because they have an 'emotion engine' in them. These PS3's are all black, with no silver strip, and they're the large versions. They have 4 USB ports, and the 20GB model has no wireless.

These two types are the only models that are backwards compatible with both PS1 and PS2 games!

Other models play PS1 games, but not PS2.

Oh, and although the PS3 is region free, They'll only play PS1 & PS2 games from their origin country... I.E. I got my NTSC PS3 imported from America in 2006, and although it plays all region PS3 games, it only plays NTSC PS1 & PS2.

And for the future PS 3 games work on PS 4:
