Homebrew = unofficial software made by nerds in their free time.

And theoretically, it means just that (keeping in mind the hardware needs to be able to handle the emulated system. I assume the PS4 would be able to emulate everything up until the Gamecube, plus the Wii, minus the original Xbox). But you obviously need to wait for someone to develop the emulators for it. Given the PS4's popularity, I'd imagine it would be a matter of time for those to appear, once it's properly hacked (if ever).

The Vita seems to have a somewhat strong cult following... I'm not sure.

Wouldn't it be easier to hack and play everything on/for PC? Wouldn't a PC be able to play PS4 games as well?


That's obviously the best solution. PC can already emulate GC/Wii/PS2 perfectly with just a few minor issues. Though there are people that just don't like gaming on PC (even with a controller) for some reason, and would rather have one console to rule them all.

And no, a PC can't play PS4 games, and won't be able to do it for at least 10 more years, and that's being extremely optmistic. PS360 just took the first steps, a full 8-9 years after their releases. Hell, the original Xbox doesn't have a working emulator yet, and emulating Saturn/N64 is still tricky to this day (Rogue Squadron is unplayable on a regular emulator, for example. You need a pretty powerful PC to run it).
