How often do you play PS2/PS1 games? I bet once in a while you might feel the urge to pick up a classic PS1 game, or finish a PS2 game you haven't beaten, but in general you don't play that often right? If you're going to start up a new game, most people download the PSN version instead of go out and look for a PS2/PS1 disk.

I'm more retro, I don't like owning digital games, especially because apparently PSN content on your PS3 doesn't work on your PS4, so any PS1/PS2 games you did download are trapped on your PS3 now.

Anyway, my solution is 2 TV's. Most people probably have a second TV, maybe an old Cathode Ray Tube, or a smaller crummier LCD in their house. Maybe it's just a small TV in the bedroom. However you don't always need your PS2 hooked up, and it does look messy having 5 or more consoles plugged into the main TV. So Keep your main consoles connected to your main TV, consoles you still play regularly, in this situation that would mean a PS3 AND a PS4 (You're still going to be playing PS3 games until PS4 builds up a library), and whatever compeditor consoles you own, and then plug in the PS2 and other retro consoles into the second tv.

For me I have a 360 and a Wii (soon to be joined by a PS3) plugged into my main TV, which is a 40" LED. At my parents, I have a 20" CRT with my SNES, Gamecube, Dreamcast, and PS2 plugged in. Once in a while, when I start up a new JRPG, or feel in the mood for SNES or N64, I bring the console to my place and plug it into my 40" LED, but they never stay long.

In this situation I advise the same.

However it is stupid, PS4 games a Blu-Ray Disks correct? Last I heard Blu-Ray players play DVD's and CD's, and PS4 is powerful enough to emulate PS1 and PS2 games. Sony should be pro BC for legacy consoles, I don't think PS1 and PS2 software sales or BC will hurt PS4 game sales.
