You need a quite powerful machine to emulate PS3 and run some commercial games in their original speeds. Most demos are okay as they don't use all the resources. While I'm pretty sure PS3 emulation can be done on powerful PC, I don't see it for standalone android handhelds.
Well if i told someone in 1995(year the ps1 came out)that i would be playing that same console in my phone with better textures and resolution, people would probably laugh at me. I'm sure in the future the hardware will get better
(C'mon a Wii and Gamecube emulator just got ported! Even if it doesnt run full speed!)
Yes, and you can just use Moores law to estimate when phones/tablets would be fast enough. The thing is that so far into the feature, we cannot even begin to speculate what kind of hardware and software those devices would run. Today it is mostly Android/iOS on ARM and OpenGL ES, but in 5 or 10 years? Could be anything. Could be full OpenGL on x86, or maybe something radically different. The point is that it would be a waste of time to code for current hardware/software, when iPhone 8 or whatever might as well use an ultra low power AMD APU with Mantle...
The usual Windows/Linux/Mac versions would probably be more important and interesting for now.
