PS3 emulation on PS5 was possible - Sony wasn't interested
While several enhancements to the PlayStation Plus service are on the horizon, Sony will most likely continue to fall short of providing a mechanism for PlayStation 5 users to directly access PlayStation 3 titles in their native format.
Current availability is only available as streaming, and it is only available in certain areas where the firm operates the PlayStation Now service. According to developer Dimitris Giannakis, also known as Modern Vintage Gamer, the issue has arisen as a result of the Japanese company's reluctance to invest in native emulation of its previous platform. It is completely feasible to emulate the PlayStation 3 on PS5 hardware.
"PS3 emulation is absolutely possible on PS5 hardware. But Sony was never interested in investing money and time to make this happen,” he said on Twitter.
It was announced on the 29th of this week that the next edition of PlayStation Plus would only allow premium members access to PlayStation 3 titles through streaming, which will be a restricted option for non-premium members... In addition to being more expensive than the other plans, it will not be available in countries such as Argentina and Brazil, where it will be replaced by the Deluxe plan, which is less expensive.

I can’t get over Sony announcing that they have a PS1 and PS2 emulator up and running on PS4 and PS5 hardware but they’re locking both behind a subscription fee and won’t let you play discs you already own. Also they still can’t get PS3 emulation on the PS5
According to Sony, the transition of the subscription service would enable its users to download and play certain PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2, and PSP games when not connected to the internet. This demonstrates that the business has been successful in developing emulators for each of its previous systems, despite the fact that the PS3 was left out of the process. It is well known that the console has an architecture that is deemed sophisticated; yet, as demonstrated by the community, it can be mimicked by current technology. The choice by the Japanese corporation runs counter to the policy chosen by Microsoft, which has invested in mechanisms to ensure that its current consoles have access to the catalogs of platforms like as the Xbox 360 and the original Xbox, as well as other platforms. PS3's new subscription service, which will go live in June of this year, will provide the same features as the existing PlayStation Plus membership plan at its most basic level.

One day, someone will jail break the PS5... and PS5 emulation will come to PC in about 5 years running well.

I purchased some stuff for the office the other day and saw PS5 in our local store. The initial model. For 999 EUR.
That made me laugh - I commented to the store staff that nobody would buy it for that speculative price in their sane mind. They started hissing at me and said that supply was low and I didn't understand anything. Had a nice giggle.
The only thing that will make the PS5 platform compelling for me is that it will allow you to run PS3 games.
I own a jailbroken PS3, which was delidded + a new custom fan + some air vent holes in the case + SSD drive + mClassic from Marseille to upscale the image.
I absolutely love the fact that you can run PS1 / PS2 (practically all of them, as I don't have the PHAT model) and PS3 games with it. Such a fantastic video game generation. It's so sad that most of those games can be run only via emulation or with PS3.
I don't get why Sony is so slow on this, as PS5 can run all of the PS3 games with an emulation. On top of that, only Sony can emulate them perfectly.
But then again, PS3 emulation on PC is making leaps as well. The second PC emulation will be flawless, and PS5 will lose its potential appeal (to me, at least) as from the modern games, there are like 2-3 that are actually interesting. Rest is either on PC, or, well, trash.

Emulation is a problem for those companies that want to sell remasters.
Just look at GTA5. They managed to sell the same game on 3 generations of PlayStations.

This is a dumb decision , I am sure these kind of things will backfire. If streaming would work great, it would never be a problem, but it doesn't. There is always input lag.
