I truly hope you are wrong. 

This is one of those cash grabbing strategies that has this weird way of gaining traction but just shouldn't.

The Current generation consoles are more than powerful enough to run those games. Nintendo had it right with the virtual console thingy, sony has it right with PSnow because that at least allows you play games even if you don't have a console. MS has it right by allowing full BC on their XB1 platform (has it best If i may add). 

I am obviously against stuff like this for the very reason that it may encourage others to do the same. So instead of make the PS5 BC out of the box with everything from the PS4 all the way dow to the PS1. Sony could then make a silly mini console that will take up another HDMI slot on my TV because this shit worked for nintendo.

Call me crazy, I just think this is the wrong direction BC should be going in.

So your issue isn't mini consoles, it's just the possibility Sony may decide to exclude BC in the future.

Is Nintendo losing third party support a wet dream of yours?

It can still play games, the single most important aspect of any games console.

Jesus I hope not. I don't want Sony doing a cash grab with a ps1 classic or a ps2 classic. Just release the games digitally for ps4 or ps5. 

I don't know what your problem is. Just think of how much more money Sony could be making!

I mean, my old TI-83 calculator can play games. I don't consider it a console.

The NES/SNES Classic is just an emulation device.

A ps4 or x1 could be used as a dvd player or streaming device or paper weight. Is it now no longer a console?

You mean like locking people out of their Epic accounts? Lol
