Despite its exotic architecture the PS3 can be emulated well on "normal" machines, though.

I was amazed that I am actually able to play PS3 games on my (older, not at all top of the line) laptop thanks to the brilliant RPCS3 emulator.

A PS5 is way more powerful than my laptop, so in theory SONY could just make all those PS3 games available through emulation.

It took a decade and it’s still not 100% accurate. By now PS5 is powerful enough, but Sony would rather sell you a remaster or remake.

I think they'd rather you play the game on their streaming service that runs the game from a ps3-alike sitting in a rack.
