Right cause at this rate Laufey might be playable day 1 and I'm sure Sony didn't think that was even a remote possibility as recently as a few months ago. It's currently super demanding but the hardware requirements will come down over time and with the way things are going it wouldn't surprise me if PS6 emulation starts being a thing within the first 1-2 years of its life so I do wonder how they'll respond to that.

Another fantastic aspect is emulation of older consoles will get better than ever. This should lead to basically every console having its entire library become playable through emulation and eventually all the games getting native ports through decompilation so this tech will be the best thing to have ever happened for video game preservation.
