Most emulators are developed by hobbyists most of whom have little to no training. You can even develop emulation software through trial and error. It is hardly hard work as software development goes. Both Microsoft and Nintendo have emulation software that covers hundreds of titles. How is it then if its so tedious that these two actually allocate resources to do this. How many titles does Nintendo emulate every year. How many titles did Microsoft make backward compatible.
This is hardly the convoluted chore you make it out to be. The only reason Sony wouldn't do this is that they cannot do it. Simple enough right there. They don't need to be excused, and frankly they don't need to be condemned either. It was a financial choice. Cheaper hardware was more important then backward compatibility. I doubt you will find anyone that will disagree. The PS3 cost too much with that added hardware.
Lets not just write this off as unimportant, and not worth having. They just couldn't afford to have it. Some shit doesn't need to be bleached out of existence. Every manufacturer has skid marks. You take the bad with the good.
