It doesn't need anyone to convince devs to implement it. I can do it whenever I run an emulator of old console games already, and devs of those games never implemented it.
If Sony wants to add it as a hardware feature they can.
As far as the patent, hopefully it'll get denied but I doubt it. Once they have it it'll cost someone time and money to challenge it, even though it should be a slam dunk that it is neither a new idea nor innovative and novel. This is how a lot of these egregious parents continue to stand - the cost of challenging them is high, especially if some blistering idiot of a judge ruled in a farcical manner.
It definitely will. Too many games are no longer 100% offline or small enough to load it all to RAM. Even for games that can be taken offline to play, it would mean the feature would only be able to work in "offline mode" or the developers would need to find some way to align it with the design of their other systems.
Or more likely, as with other features Sony uses as selling points like their recently discontinued "Resume Activity" cards, it remains optional and no developers opt to implement it because it's more trouble than it's worth.
