Not at all. PS1 emulation costs absolutely nothing to Sony. They'll include it with every console that can read the discs. The same will go for PS2 discs. Sony is working on improving their PS2 emulator as we speak. They want to start making money just like MS is (with the downloadable "Xbox Originals"). PS1 and PS2 games will always work on future consoles through improved emulation. No "hardware" required.
