I think Sony could make a buck from a PS full version capable of playing all 5 gen titles, just not sure how much they would need to mod the APU of PS5 to match that. Perhaps use the regular APU plus a simplified Cell processor on it with the PS2 and PS1 SW emulated that they had available on PS3.

They wouldn't have to make to many, just enough for the collector enthusiasts.  It would cost more, but people like me wouldn't care.  I would snag one up quick. Call it the special 25th anniversary edition.

Well I would say the fewer they produce the costlier it would be because most of the cost would be on the R&D to make such a near 100% BC PS5. But I think that could sell up to 1M units so it could be justified. And let's say it sell fast Sony could certainly make second batch on a different color. The parts itself would probably be like only 100USD or even less of additional cost, but cost to develop and produce low quantities would be the bigger issue.
