Or perhaps I've played enough of the PS1. With games like Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII, Final Fantasy IX, Final Fantasy Tactics, Chrono Cross, Xenogears, Suikoden, Suikoden II, Star Ocean: Second Story, Valkyrie Profile, Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, Tales of Destiny, Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete, Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete, Vagrant Story, Grandia, Persona 2: Eternal Punishment, Threads of Fate, Wild Arms, Wild Arms 2, Legend of Mana etc. etc. etc. (the list goes on) the PS1 easily has the greater quantity of high quality games. Not that the PS2's isn't great or anything, it's my second favorite gaming library after the PS1, but it doesn't come close.
the problem, as i see it, as the that PS1 had such an awesome library of games that just aren't available anymore for any reasonable amount of money. Games that you could also play on your PS2, which keeps them fresh in your mind. Three Final Fantasies, Metal Gear Solid, the Tomb Raider series, the Resident Evil series, etc. How many people would actually still play those games if they still could. I know i would.
Me, personally, if i bought a ps3, i'd spend an extortionate amount of money downloading PS1 games for the system.

I don't think so, if they shoot for PS2 compatability, why not PS1 since many people invested quite a bit their old PS1 games. I figure technology would get better and better that it would be possible.
Technology does get better and better, that doesn't mean we should stick with the old tech..
The whole point of technological advancement in gaming consoles is to improve and/or introduce cutting edge graphics and/or gameplay.
What would be the point of making new consoles, if people preferred to stick to the old games?

Not being a cheapo, the first generation PS3 could do it, why can't the PS4?

do you know how much a PS1 costs on something like amazon? it's insane.
and if the new games were good enough, there'd be no issue.
I'd settle for any future Sony consoles to achieve a great number os PS1 classics that made the console amazing. I don't have a problem re-buying PS1 games from the PSN Store, even though I have some already in my room, but to update with more classics. They're doing a good job as of now, but there's still a few gems out there they haven't put in their store.

Every classic 'gem' in PS1 is available for download in the PSN Store.
The only games aren't there are the Japanese exclusives, the ones that were never translated
They could still add a few fan favorites.

These for example. To my knowledge, they don't have most of these, and it would be cool, but I give up, PS2 games only... Sigh...
^ Shenmue should have been ported to the PS1 mmm

Possibly a sense of sentimentality or nostalgia. Or they just find the game enjoyable no matter when they play it. Have you just cast aside Pokemon Red/Blue, or do you still play the game sometimes? Heard of retro gamers? You must then wonder why those guys play older games that appeared on the NES and such, or even games that appeared before that.

it's not even as much nostalgia as it is the quality of the games. those were some awesome games.

I disagree.
I'd rather they wait a while before introducing high-priced hardware bound to get faulty.
And I ain't looking forward to nintento entering the next-gen with another "gimmick" and current-graphics.
Plus I've spent too much in this generation with all the broken 360s, and now PS3, to have to spend money on new machines when things aren't looking too good with the current economy.
