Ahh. So you want Sony to cater to a very niche market that will likely cost Sony more to develop than they would make off of it. To get the level of upscaling,PSN connectivity, disc drive support and storage, it would cost far more than anything like the NES classic, which would be seen as a money grab to the average consumer. This shit would never fly.

Carry on folks, nothing to see here.

"So you want Sony to cater to a very niche market"

LMAO niche market, go educate yourself how big the retro market is right now before giving your next 2 cents

"that will likely cost Sony more to develop than they would make off of it"

I says they will likely make money off of it than lose.

"To get the level of upscaling,PSN connectivity, disc drive support and storage, it would cost far more than anything like the NES classic"

Yeah it's gonna cost just as much as the PS4.

See, the niche part is people wanting a console that has "perfect upscaling", a built in CD drive and PSN network connectivity, and are willing to pay a premium price for a device that offers such things.

Sony could easily offer a PS1 classic that had 30-50 PS1 classics, no built-in CD drive, has upscaling about as good ad the NES Classic, and no network connectivity, sell it for $60-$100, and the vast majority of that retro crowd that you seem to think would want such a premium product would choose this one instead.
