Well I don't think they will need to do much for the other titles in general, it is just that they only tested 100 so far, but probably you'll just go and put your disc on PS5 and it will install and play for most cases even if they haven't done anything.

Well do you understand the concept that nothing is free and that resources are finite?

MS themselves said they had reduced the amount of effort they were giving to BC because they had to focus on next gen and they are going to go back to full speed soon? Or the part where they said they were focusing on X1X and after that they focused on buying studios?

Every company will look at what will bring more money and focus there first. That is because they have a limited resource (even if Trillion of Dollars) and in Sony case they analysis showed they wouldn't profit enough/more with BC so they gone the road of remasters and selected classics.

Yes I know I was just mocking you. I have a few original PS1 and PS2 games but I bought them after already having PS4 =P and outside of Brazil.

And yes if Sony really wanted PS1 and PS2 emulator on PS5 would be a college dorm project with just few people. Sure the parts where it could "automatically" improve and boost those games would  need some more effort and perhaps they could sell patches down the road.

Do you still think it will be 500 USD?

Yes, it'll be $500, specially costing $450 only for the parts.

It may be the weaker one this time, but it's not by much (specially accounting how superior their SSD is), the pricing will be the same for both.

The only way they are going to cost the same is if Sony have higher profit per unit.

Althought the SSD is better it is most likely the PCI 4.0 choice and few extra controllers, and they are accepting third party solution on PCI 4.0 so it can even end up as cheaper then MS solution that for they to put external SDD needs something very unique to them.

While MS is using like 40% more CUs and 20% more controllers for RAM, which will make their console probably quite bigger.

So when all is put together I guess 50-100 cost difference to manufacture, which is about what Ahmad had guessed like a month ago (that you have for the 450 BOM of PS5).
