Would you pay $1,000 USD for a PS6 with backwards compatibility for all previous consoles?

Would you buy it?

If there was a choice like 1000$ for a full backward compatible and,say, 600$ for a regular I would choose latter, because I don't care about ancient games as I don't have time even for most of the new games which interest me.
 
I feel like it's a trick question because I fully expect it to be $1000 regardless of what games it can run, if it's going to be a huge step beyond the PS5 Pro, right?

Look at the components in the PS5 Pro, double the storage, RAM, more cores, faster GPU, better everything. Then it drops in a couple years after the PS5 Pro has gone up another $200, yeah, we're looking at $1000+

64GB of RAM, 4TB of space, 5090 GPU performance, 8k support at 120hz, new controller, and who knows what else, that all sounds like a lot for $600.

But at the same time it does sound farfetched! I dunno, I could see it going either way. Depends on how many more times consoles go up in price before the launch.
 
$1,000 gets you a decent PC and you can play Much more than just previous Playstation games with emulation.
 
The PS5 has told me everything i need to know about Sony as a whole. Thanks to Jimbo Ryan, this was my last Sony system. The best part is that no matter if there is full BC or not, there's zero chance of it being under $799USD, while also having a bunch of games dropping to 720p like we were still playing on a 360 in 2005. Fuck this i am tired of being stuck with resolutions from over twenty years ago.

For $1,000 I'd expect a decent pack in game or bundle or something. The point of consoles is a cheap box, we are so drifting away from this. I'd take less powerful hardware and cheaper costs. Mind you I was fine with 3DS or PSP/Vita level graphics.

Why support PS3 when you can make more money off remasters.
 
I would only buy it at that price if it provided an actual large hardware jump, worthy of that price, competitive with higher-end PCs. I wouldn't really care for backwards compatibility pre-PS4 gen. I played all the games on the PS3 already, and most ps2 games can be played with an emulator on any entry-level pc/laptop. So give me a massive hardware jump and I'm there, but pull a PS5 Pro on me with huge price for a middling upgrade and no way.
 
Totally would. Giving me six generations of support would be well worth it. I'd probably do it just for PS3 -PS6 as long as the PS3 is full compatibility and not some streaming nonsense.
