I know where this is (though maybe I think more than one store has a set up like this.) They had this setup for decades, was a ps4 there before and a ps3 before that. It could just be them preparing but doesn't necessarily mean it's immediate!
@Mikey856 That is the biggest problem but there is a very successful emulator in the works from a small team (RPCS3) so I imagine if a big team like Sony's have been trying to perfect it behind closed doors I see it as a possibility is all I'm saying. They could also just write a conversion program for it, wouldn't be authentic anymore but it'd work. Sony has the man power to achieve this.
Sony hasn't confirmed or denied further backwards compatibility yet! It was one of their most guarded bits of info at the tech reveal Cerny did. There is still hope it will be further backwards compatible. I personally am hoping for at least PS3 backwards compatibility. I'd like PS2 and PS1 too obviously, but, at least the PS2 is backwards compatible with the PS1. The PS3 is sort of a stuck in the middle lost cause if it's not compatible with the PS5
