This is actually one of my biggest disappointments with PS4. I've been buying PS1 games on PS3 because I expected them to work on PS4 sooner or later, but nothing's happened. I know it's my own fault for expecting that, but I don't think it was an unreasonable expectation considering Sony's general stance on backwards compatibility. It's also one of the biggest reasons for my current dislike for consoles in general. On PC, I have backwards compatibility decades back from now. On consoles, I have backwards compatibility for one generation back if I'm lucky, and even that's not complete backwards compatibility.

As a programmer I can tell you porting old psone games to a ps4 is incredibly easy and quickly to do so Sony is just doing it on purpose to piss you off. Alternatively, Im not a progammer and the reality is the opposite of what I just said.

Considering Sony has already done it with PS3, it shouldn't be too hard to do again because it's probably possibly to reuse large portions of the emulator from PS3.
