Not sure about wacky but the Emotion chip was new and I think people took a while to get used to it and find new ways to squeeze more power out of it. The PS4 is just a bog standard gaming PC, in a box.

yea, they are about that. i was thinking why spend it if you don't have to.
Fair enough, Sir Beef. CRUSH ALL MY HOPES WHY DON'T YOU.
Salt. Wounds.
It was pretty crazy. I got to briefly study it in uni as a result although I can't remember the finer details, it was a very distinct and specialised arrangement where it had several units and you were supposed to move things around very quickly between them all the time. I understand the PS1 was an orthodox system, and the PS3 was probably architecturally less weird than the PS2, hence why it struggled to emulate it.
The PS4 will actually have some advantages over PC development, which I vaguely understand but I'm not quite as smart as John Carmack.

On a side note, I have come to terms with backwards compatibility going. I've said before that my urges to preserve all the games forever have caused more anxiety than anything, and then I feel that some things are better left to the memory, and they'll always be emulatable if need be. If I can cope with losing friends and loved ones, I can cope without an old game if I can't find a way to play it.
