From the way it is worded on their blog (and sure I may be understanding wrong) the PS5 titles sure will be a rotation, PS4 most likely as well but PS1,2,3 and PSP will be added and not removed afterwards (but I also think it will be a small and constant inclusion, if there is rotation perhaps it will just be temporary because if there is effort to port there would be no good reason to toss that in the toilette afterwards, of course if they keep standalone sales them it is more likely the rythm of entry will be higher but removal also).

Well keeping the BC games there at all times makes sense to me, but if Sony doesn't rotate the more recent games in and out, then the catalogue will only grow. Which would be great for consumers, but it's hard to believe that Sony isn't going to want to keep raising the prices to compensate.

If Sony does just that, and let's the catalogue grow, without direct price increases, then they are seemingly in a way, slowly making their way towards a Netflix model, and inching towards Game Pass. The main difference then being lack of day 1 first party. Though by that time, Plus Premium may have a massive advantage over XB and Game Pass when it comes to the BC catalogue available.

Yep. Problem with only increasing new games is the cost they need to pay for the owners of the content.
