PS5 Backwards Compatibility Speculation Begins Again as Sony Files Another Patent
""Sony has filed another patent for a backwards compatibility system, in theory allowing the inevitable PS5 to play games from previous console generations. At the beginning of the month, a patent registered under Mark Cerny's name was discovered, supposedly pointing to a method of backwards compatibility that would, again, in theory, let the PS5 run PSone, PS2, PS3, and PS4 titles.
The patent sparked a lot of speculation, but as we mentioned, patents don't necessarily mean that the proposed technology is going to be used. Sometimes, companies simply patent something so that the idea is safeguarded from the competition.
However, the fact that Sony has filed another patent -- published just yesterday and again, authored by PS4 system architect Mark Cerny -- lends a lot of weight to the aforementioned speculation. Just like the last patent, this one devises a system that essentially "tricks" old games into thinking that they're running on their original platforms. It certainly seems to fall in line with what's already been uncovered.""

Please Sony ! |
Yes, please. If the PS5 can play all 4 previous consoles at launch, that will be a big point in its favor.

It would be a big plus, and a way to secure even more the Playstation ecosystem. I feel nostalgic sometimes, and I would play again on PS5 the best games of all previous playstation hardware, it would be a dream comes true.
