It better start up with the old PS1 sound.

And it should be able to play PS1 games! Heck, Sony should just make a PS4 that plays all PS1/2/3 games. That woud make me want it even more.

And it would cost $700 at least probably.  PS2 chips and the cell would be costly to throw in.  It would be big, expensive, and probably hot.  Maybe it could work but it would take an awful lot of R&D to have them all work well in one box and there's simply no way to get costs TOO low

Damn! I knew it was expensive and hard, but not that expensive and hard.

I mean I'm not claiming to be an expert on computer hardware and PS1 should be relatively simple as the slim PS3 has shown

Just think about when they took PS2 chips out of PS3 and it lowered the cost $100.  Now think that PS3 is still $200 at least though with the HDD already in there and just the cell basically needed it would probably be closer to $100.  however to make 4 different gens work in one box and integrate them all onto one motherboard and prevent overheating they would probably need a big box (look at how big the super slim PS3 still is and that's without PS2 stuff in there).  Now many who know much more than me claim PS4 can emulate PS2 games so it may be closer to $600 but I just feel that all that stuff in one is going to take a lot to fit in one box.
