I can't help but think that several of these rumors are false; but that isn't to say with the trend of things that they are out of the realm of possibility. I'm leaning towards believing in the lack of backward compat myself, but the anti-used thing I'm hesitant to believe in the manner it's been described. I wouldn't doubt that they do something, but outright 1 game, 1 system seems too stupid to do. If all of the next gen does go in that direction, they are going to have to speed up the rate and frequency of price drops on games if they even intend to stay in the market.
I mean, as things are I have difficulty catching up, and as more and more games have co-op dependencies which die out within 3 months, more often than not, I'm actually taking things off of my wishlist now. With my backlog, the possibility of this trend, and much more time being put into a job, I might call it quits with following consoles at all after this generation. Canceling my magazines has helped in lowering the desires too, so I bet at that point I'd be just fine with it anyway.
Still, rumors are rumors for now, let's not state it as fact. P.S. I've not been with SONY for over 2 years now, so don't read anything into what I say. If I had any idea what was going on in their heads, I'd still be working there.
