Gamespot did a poll in which 72% out of 93k voted for "PS1-PS3 games on PSN for PS5" as most requested feature

Well if those were my only choices I would've voted for that too and I couldn't possibly care less about ps1-2-3 on PS5.
Exactly! I want Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo and Intelligent Qube. Really just those two would make my day.
I really don't get the resistance to keeping your old games available. Like if Playstation or Nintendo sold or subbed their legacy titles and weren't making money at it, they'd be doing it wrong. So many classics and gems that people remember / waiting to be loved by a new generation.
I mean out of those options it's the strongest so you can't really blame that landslide. Quick resume is a waste of resources for me considering how fast games boot anyways. Folder options are nice but not really sexy. Put some stronger improvements up there and we'll see.
Being realistic, ask people that don't go to Gamespot and you'll find out.
Actually, the internet says "it's a feature many people request, but few people use" :P
It's a pretty shit poll.
Folders aren't a necessity on PS5 because media and games is already cleanly separate.
Quick Resume is slightly fancier Rest Mode which PS5 already does, I'd wager most people stick to one or two games at a time tops anyway.
"Other" is never a good option because people don't think for themselves.
So the "absolutely thousands of games" option is quite obviously going to win here?

I'm one of those people, bought every playstation up to 4, and I'm only really interested in the ps5 if I can play some of the titles I've already purchased on my digital accounts...
Steam has been around longer and I'm still able to play games I purchased over 12 years ago!

"That, and I was at a Gran Turismo event recently where they had PS1, PS2, PS3 and PS4 games, and the PS1 and the PS2 games, they looked ancient, like why would anybody play this?"- Jim Ryan.
I want Playstation to compete with PS1, PS2 and PS3 BC development, but at this point it seems that maybe the PS6 will do it.

Like, I realise that PS3 support is non-trivial, given the Cell's complexity, but there's really no reason why at minimum the full PS1 and PS2 Classics from the PS3 era couldn't have been made available on the PS4 and PS5, and not the re-release for PS4 bollox that they dropped after seemingly a few months.
I can understand why ps3 emulation might be a bitch, but I can't fathom why the ps1 and ps2 classics on psn can be updated to work on ps5.
Man, I would LOVE if Sony started treating BC the way Microsoft does.
Enhanced BC for Jak & Daxter, Ratchet & Clank, Sly Cooper, ICO, God of War I and II, MGS 4, Killzone 1& 2, Resistance trilogy ...Ugh. They'd get so much money from me.

Those other options are nothing. Like, I'm biased as hell towards BC, but come on. Make it a good poll.
Imagine not wanting your legacy titles playable on the latest hardware, either through backward compatibility or digital purchase.
Ps1 and Ps2 should be easy enough. They don't even have to do discs, just release the ps1-2 classics from PS3 on PS5. Or use the PS Classic emulator. Maybe they don't want to pay the licensing fee to play CDs but I imagine the money for suddenly selling ps1 classics would offset that
PS3 could be hard but I'm confident Sony could make it work. Even if it's just like 100 games that would be helpful.

im disappointed that sony didnt make 2d games illegal like they did in the ps1 era. :(

I once heard of BC being described as the same logic as super stores like Wal Mart operating 24/7. In all actuality, Wal Mart likely does not turn a profit in the middle of the night, but it is worth doing anyway because people look more fondly on the store overall if they know it is always open when they need it to be. Similar to backwards compatibility, maybe it can be statistically proven out that it is not utilized as much as the demand implies, but simply having it is very valuable.
PS3 might not be that difficult. If a bunch of random people doing it as a hobby can get games to boot, a company with access to schematics and code working full time jobs should be able to do it.
What a joke of a poll lol.
Here I have a poll for you, which of the following items would you like to eat.
A. An hard pretzel
B. One fig newton
C. A four course meal prepared by a professional chef
