Here's a great idea....why not just ... gasp ... have backwards compatibility!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok but seriously, no, just put more ps1 games on psn

Microsoft was more forward thinking with the Xbox than Sony was with the Playstation 4 when it came to the optical drives.
Ergo, the Xbox One supports CD's and the Playstation 4 doesn't, which means that the Playstation 4 cannot be backwards compatible with the Playstation 1's physical media.

Classic consoles seem to have a place, I mean... Nintendo has a decent backwards compatible library via it's digital stores on Wii, yet it's classic systems still sold like hotcakes.

Sony's lack of forward thinking on (ironically) backwards compatibility actually starts with the PS3 using the Cell, so it's not too surprising they would continue to ignore it.

 

And I thought it was a lack of software playback that prevented the use of audio CDs, not an actual lack of hardware ability?
