PlayStation consoles have always been notorious for system complexity (e.g. [[PlayStation_emulators#Emulation_issues|PlayStation]], [[PlayStation_2_emulators#Emulation_issues|PlayStation 2]]). Sony's gamble of their technology being emulator-unfriendly makes them developer-unfriendly as well, and the system's weaker performance in cross-platform games proves it. Even if done properly, [[High/Low_level_emulation|an LLE approach]] would be performance suicide, as some things just have to be abstracted enough to get high framerates in games. The situation is so bad that Sony seems to be incredibly hesitant to produce an [[Official_emulators|official PS3 emulator ]] for the newer PlayStations.
