To cite pokoko in this very thread: "It will probably sway a few people here and there who need to sell their old console to get a new one but don't want to sell their games. Everything positive adds to the collective appeal of something you spend that much money to buy."

Additionally it may be more convenient to play your old games on your new console. The new console is probably properly attached to your current TV, the older ones may  be removed to the attic. Or worse, the older ones don't have HDMI yet, while the new one has. Little conveniences like that can have a big effect.

I disagree, playing ps1 on a crt tv with composite cables looks better than playing ps1 on a ps3 via BC, because that's how it was intended, HDMI gives the ps1 resolution nowhere to hide its limitations.

 

Just something about using the proper hardware, too.

It depends on perception. Old consoles look good on LCD TVs if you use anything above S-Video or RGB. And with the PS1 you even have a lot of other choices to choose from, like using PS2 and component Cables or 480P on PS3 via HDMi. I my opinion the later is the best option because the PS1 games are emulated in Progressive scan which make it crystal clear. 

That being said there is no Difference between Xbox 360 games on original hardware or Xbox One because both consoles allready ouput progressive scan.
