will the Ps5 be backwards compatible with any of the other PlayStation games? 1-4 null

Question

So playstation has confirmed you can use 99% of the ps4 games on this system (digital and disk from my understanding) although they are still slow to the punch of being compatible from the 1-3 generations other than the classics they sell on the online store. But for sure physical copies for the 1-3 will NOT work. 

That is really the only major thing the xbox has over us that bothers me since ALL the past generation xbox games work with their new system. One upside is that playstation seems to realize now how interested their customers are in this and seems to be taking an interest as a company in pursuing this in the future...

Unfortunately the PlayStation 5 is only backward compatible with PlayStation 4 games. 
As I’ve looked at my ps5, I have seen options to select ps3 games, so perhaps one day it’ll play them, but right now ps3 is unreadable.
