Your average person on the street doesn't know or care that they can play PS1 games in higher resolution on PC, they just want a neat looking thing that sits under their tv and lets them play the games that they remember from way back when.
Just look at how well the SNES Classic has done.
Those games have been rereleased countless times on Wii, Wii U and have been available on ROM sites for nearly 2 decades.
But the vast majority of old SNES owners don't know this, I saw friends share images on Facebook on Christmas day banging on about how they'd not played these games since they were 10 and how amazing/weird the experience was.
Most PlayStation owners haven't heard that startup sound since about 2000 and it'll bring back floods of memories for people who end up getting this.
