I wonder if the PS5 could emulate the PS3 with reasonable performance. It’s sad that Sony seems to have just abandoned 90% of their library rather than putting forth the investment to develop and maintain their emulators like Microsoft has.

If it goes anything like how ps2 emulation went on the ps3, Sony will hire someone who worked on emulation for the console and let publishers re-release individual games that are tested to work.

I assume they're not doing that because it'd eat into their game-streaming service that has a lot of ps3 games on it. I don't think they will go the same route that Microsoft did, sadly.
