"When people see Sony's PS1 games, they are reminded that there are now newer and better versions available. When they see an old NES game, it's different"
No it's not. When they re-released Zelda 1 on GBA I couldn't bare to play the bloody thing. LttP is it's better version. PS1 and PS2 have more games than the NES/SNES/N64 combines
Um, speaking of talking out your ass, your comment was utter crap. Why would downscaling be needed at all? The system would just render at 640x480, it would not render at 720p then resize it down. For one, the aspect ratio would be destroyed or there would be black bars
A game optimized to look best at 480i will always look better at 480i than a game that was optimized for 720p and scaled down (assuming all other factors are equal).
No, in fact the opposite will occur. The 720p game will look better on 480 than the 480 native game will. Because the 720p game will be using higher res textures and models.

But by the same logic, playstations controller isn't stolen either. Since PS was originally supposed to be part of the SNES

Plus games are running at a higher framerate since hte system is rendering less pixels.
Actually it wouldn't have to be downscaled at all

The display is one of the bigger parts of the experience. And HDTVs will and are becoming more and more common.
I know a quadrapalegic who has extremely limited arm movement, but enough so he could enjoy Lifeline on PS2.
