Sony is considering releasing a PlayStation 'Classic Mini'

Nostalgia is a near-endless mining source in the gaming industry. Many companies like Nintendo often dug into their past and remastered or re-released a classic console that was part of many fans childhood memories. Sony might be attempting to do just that, as they are internally considering making a PLAYSTATION CLASSIC, according to a recent interview.
Speaking with Mantan Web (and translated by ComicBook), Sony Interactive Entertainment President and CEO John Kodera (also known as Tsuyoshi) described the company’s attitude towards making a PS1 packed with old games. He stated that the company was mulling over the idea of making a PLAYSTATION CLASSIC. However, he seemed to suggest that the company was only discussing the possibility.
“Our company is always digging up past assets,” said Kodera in the translation. “I think there are various ways to do (a classic console). There have been discussions happening (within the company) on what kind of ways are there.”
Kodera did not confirm if it was happening but it does show that Sony has taken notice of what Nintendo has been doing with the NES Classic and SNES Classic which kept selling out non stop. Nintendo announced last month that the SNES Classic sold over five million units. President and COO of Nintendo of America Reggie Fils-Aimé told Time Magazine in April 2017 that the NES Classic sold over two million copies in five months
If Sony can pull off a PlayStation Classic it would most likely be a big hit.
