So am I reading the article correctly when I interpret that it has no emulation software for PS2 games? Or do they just mean that it doesn't include the chip?

The European 60GBPS3 don't have the EE in the first place - all bc is done by emulation - so I don't get this no BC compatability.

B/c is currently done through a combination of hardware (PS2's GS ) and emulation. They likely removed the GS to save money.
