Its clear the PS1 classic is built more for the easy cash grab of the mini console market than an actual quality product. Sony also don't make or own majority of the PS1 games which is why they probably struggled to get them on board the system. Also I don't feel the PS and Xbox are retro enough to be in this market. PS1 games have aged horribly and basically you can find majority of PS1 games on better systems with a better experience.

My biggest let downs from what I hear are the lack of Dual Shock Controller support, the poor UI and the lack of quality Games. Honestly Sony should have waited and invested a little more because right now id stick with my original PS1 Dual Shock system.. if it still works.

I'd prefer it if Sony, Nintendo, Sega etc didn't bother making these "Classic" consoles and focused on getting their libraries of past games playable on to the already well established main consoles. PS1 and PS2 should really be on PS4 and NES-Wii should be heading to the Switch. Sega and other publishers have the freedom to release games on all platforms. I'm sure some people like the novelty of the small replica console but all of these retro machines seem very lacking to me, especially in comparison to what a newer console/PC could do for with these classic games.
