Since the offer is for Europe only for now then I would guess yes. They said the money saved would be put into game development and bringing playstation costs down. I agree its strange but maybe they have left out something else that also makes the emulation not possible.
EDIT**
After having looked into the Backward comp a bit more its seem my thoughts were right. From what I have read they have removed another chip called the GS or somthing along these lines. The software emulation only emulated the EE chip (Emotion Engine) but some hardware was still needed. Seems now these other supporting chips have been removed. If I am wrong please feel free to correct me but this is what I have been able to find out up2 now.
