PS3 already exists and mostly fulfills your requests, but...

This.

To all the above, the XRGB mini Framemeister shits all over the upscaling of the PS3. Did y'all think I wasn't aware of the PS3 being able to play PS1? Lol.

Besides, the PS3 is not region free with its PS1 (or PS2) games, something that is a must for someone like me collecting import games.

My proposed PS1 Classic should be a simple region free PS1 with a HDMI out, with the purest upscaling, and online connection to PSN, nothing more nothing less.

I said mostly. Also, I wouldn't personally pay anything for such a device. I want less, not more, devices under my TV, and considering my PS3 does the most important things fairly well, I wouldn't have any need for an extra device even if I wanted more devices under my TV.

I prefer PS1 backward compatibility  to PS1 classic mini .

Seems kinda pointless for Sony to make IMO.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

I honestly don't think the IP is there. Nintendo gets away with it because most of the iconic IP from NES is still alive and still selling millions. What PS1 (first party) IP is still as relevant as Mario or Zelda?

Agreed. I see no reason Sony hasn't done this on PS4, yet. There's no power issue.  All I know is they better add it later, or make the PS5 play them.  Otherwise, why keep them on the PS Store?

Ahh. So you want Sony to cater to a very niche market that will likely cost Sony more to develop than they would make off of it. To get the level of upscaling,PSN connectivity, disc drive support and storage, it would cost far more than anything like the NES classic, which would be seen as a money grab to the average consumer. This shit would never fly.

Carry on folks, nothing to see here.

The novelty of the Nintendo classic consoles is of course the unique controllers.

Dual Shock controllers haven't really changed drastically over the years.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

I rather just play new games.

Why would you ever pay $350 to just play upscaled ps1 games?

Because the PS1 had great games.

LMAO niche market, go educate yourself how big the retro market is right now before giving your next 2 cents

"that will likely cost Sony more to develop than they would make off of it"

I says they will likely make money off of it than lose.

Yeah it's gonna cost just as much as the PS4.
