PlayStation Classic Being Internally Considered at Sony

Sega has been making those for years. Nintendo is in no way the first to do these. Also plug and plays have existed forever. That's all the Nintendo Classic is.
Considering how popular the NES and SNES classics were, this thread title probably qualifies for a "SHOCKING NEWS:" prefix.
Like I said, they licensed it to third parties. Nintendo was the first hardware manufactor to make it internally instead of just license the brand to another company to make the consoles like Sega did for decades.
I'm not saying that Nintendo invented it btw, just that they were the first to do that without license it to other company like Tec Toy
Honestly curious, the Atari Flashback wouldn't be the first one? or that one was also made by a third party?
Edit. Just as I posted this, I found. They were also licensed.
The NES Classic was the first really made and given care by a company like Nintendo. The AtGames shit Sega and Atari licensed their name and games to have always been trash and never created anywhere near the amount of interest even if you can buy them at a Dollar General store.
People act like Nintendo invented the idea of a plug and play console. I was playing with these all the way back in 2004
Didnt you know when Nintendo does something they invented it doesn't matter if a million others did it before them.
User warned: console wars
Tell a Sony fan that Sony copies Nintendo and they will eat your face up, btw some Sony fan will reply to this comment with a console that came before NES classic and sold 10 units and say "look someone else did it before Nintendo"
100%. Wouldn't be the same without it.
I'm all for a smaller version of the Playstation but high on my wishlist of this dream console would be original controller ports, if only so we could get an official re-release of the Dual Shock that would be compatible with original hardware.
So? Why can't Sony make a ps classic? This comes across real petty and salty.
It would be cool if they did something like the Nintendo Super NES Classic Mini, so basically a mini ps1 with a bunch of the classic titles installed onto it.
Nintendo didn't invent the plug-and-play console, but they did show the world how successful one can be. Sony wouldn't even be considering this if it weren't for the success of the NES and SNES Classic.
Not that it really matters. Why shouldn't they enter the market as well? They absolutely should if they think they can create a successful product.
Not sure I would bite on a ps1 classic. Now, a ps2 classic, if priced correctly, I would buy that instantly
No one in this thread said this. Nintendo didn't invented this, but they were the first hardware manufactor to produce those consoles internally instead of license it and now with the success of NES classic and SNES classic other companies are following on this. If you think it's not because of what Nintendo did, it's pretty strange considering that Sega and now maybe Sony are doing it as well
You really starving for one of those? So many of them out there in the wild.
Still annoyed I missed out on that sale.
Storage is cheap if you're not using proprietary Sony memory cards.
The Atari flashback was a legit SoC. You could even solder on a cart port and use original carts.
Sony's first party in those days wasn't as powerful or iconic as they are now, let alone Nintendo. A PS1 Classic would live and die by the power of the third party titles Sony could secure. Most games would have to be third party for it to be worth a damn. I dont think many would die for a console that only comes with the likes of Ape Escape, Jumping Flash, Parapa the Rapper, MedEvil, Wild Arms, and Twisted Metal.
You and only you. No one cared or bought these devices until Nintendo did itPeople act like Nintendo invented the idea of a plug and play console. I was playing with these all the way back in 2004
Or you could be a grown up and just chuckle at us lowly people for bringing up said console as a valid reason instead of waving it away and posting a comment meant specifically to get ire from said fans.
*Nintendo correctly what Sega did incorrectly like 3 times in a row.
Lame. This is not meant for console wars. Microsoft builds a great backward compatibility model and this is sonys answer? Yes I get that sony is in the lead and they don't have to do jack shit. If they move forward with this I think it will really put into question the BC of ps4 titles to ps5. PlayStation has their streaming service. Why would they even support bc? Supporting older generation disks through emulation would be much better fan service.
tbh the only PS1 games that are worth going back to are the big RPGs and I ain't got time for that.
