| binary solo said: If Sony did that, then at least you would only need to have 2 consoles to be fully BC. PS3 does PS1 BC, PS4 with PS2 BC, PS2 classics go on sales on PSN. Done! PS2 should be much easier to emulate so it should not be necessary to do the jiggery-pokery stuff MS needs to do with the 360 games. Which means no need to muck around with getting licencing agreements from 3rd parties. Put the original PS2 game on PSN and away you go. Other than money it shouldn;t even be necessary to put any Sony developer resource into it, a 3rd party can be contracted to do the actual work. |
They will only do it if it makes them money so I guess discs are out of discussion for this. Whether they see a potential income which is higher than the costs of developing the emulator, we will see.
But yes, it should be quite easy in terms of performance.
