Sony Ponders Releasing Retro PS One Console For Classic Gaming Fans

And now Sony wants to enter the retro bandwagon...

This is most definitely the era of the retro console with Nintendo, Atari (the Atari VCS is up for pre-order now) and others in on the retro console action. Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) is considering stepping into that retro console realm as well with a revival of the PlayStation One console. Word of the possibility of a retro console from Sony comes from a source that should have a very good idea of what's in the pipeline.

Personally, I'd rather they just make the PS5 backwards compatible with all previous consoles than make a specific Mini console. A lot of PS1 games haven't really aged that well but there's some I'd replay for sure.

Now, that I would buy.

I'd buy a PS5 fully backwards compatible, just don't see a market for the PS One but there are many who would.

Think there is a big market for a PS mini, with 20-25 games, pad for Â£79 would go down a storm imo

You are probably right mate, just go to a carboot and buy one of the thousands out there lol.

Well true, but the same could be said about the NES or SNES and the mini versions went on to sell millions of units, plus carboot sales are a dying breed too, none round our area anymore.

Very true actually lol.

I am now thinking I might as well collect these flipping things lol.
