Is it possible to play a PlayStation 3 games on a PlayStation 2 system?

There is no reason to think that a PS2 could ever play PS3 games. The purpose of a new console was to allow game developers to create games with greater capabilities than the former console was capable of playing. This is done by providing a platform for the game developers to have more technological capability than was previously available to them when they were designing games for the earlier platform.That is also why the PS4 games are not playable on the PS3 unless they are downgraded to allow them to also have a PS3 version of the game. To me I think it can but it won't play on a PlayStation 2 system.If it did because I got need for speed most wanted and it is for PlayStation 3 game. So that means that you can't play PlayStation 3 games on a PlayStation 2 system
