I personally think all of this is fine. As long as the length in between new console versions doesn't get abusive, I'll be glad to see a more rapid evolution of tech.
They better off a free or reduced upgrade to current PS4 owners, or I can see Sony losing a LOT of customers.
Wow at so called gamers saying no.... This should be in the ready for this holiday for us gamers that want 4K gaming.. I work hard and will purchase hard to enjoy my down time.... Enough of the 1080P,we are in 2016...
If tt costs 500-600 to upgrade or whatever, at least we have a choice and would be day 1...
Once again vcc, I totally agree with you on this topic.
I somehow get the feeling that this whole recent upgrade talk is nothing but a nice little game of poker. Both MS and Sony are looking at possibilities how to handle console business in the future. Like I've said before, if MS announces a XboxOne.5, Sony will follow: this is the last step of transforming consoles into affordable PCs.
I didn't even think about this.
lmao. You expect a box to be released that lets you play 4k gaming in the 500-600 range??? That is some funny shit. 980ti's alone barely can hit 4k @30fps and that is turning some settings down to get there and those are +$600 GPU's alone. You want 4k and minimum 30fps out of console by the end of the year, expect to pay about $1,200.00 if not more for that pleasure. Perhaps in full year or year and a half you can get a console doing 4k/30fps at around $800+.

If a more powerful iteration of the PS4 hits the market and you have games that are "only playable on PS4.5" then it seems at that point just call it a PS5 and have it fully backwards compatible. You'll at least avoid a nightmare scenario with uninformed consumers buying something that won't run on their machine at home.
Also, this.

I think this will seal the fate of console gaming.
If you need to upgrade, it's no better than an expensive PC.
This. Playing the same games in 4k seems like an incremental upgrade for many people.
If there is enough people clamoring for 4k games then sure, release this. But as some point there need to be a cutoff. A true ps5 with games not possible on ps4.
I guess if true ps5 is farther away than we have been assuming, then 4.5 could come out in two years.
AMD/ATI magic...
Let's not hope for a free upgrade when they're more than doubling processing power. Come on now, maybe a reduced upgrade but still.They better off a free or reduced upgrade to current PS4 owners, or I can see Sony losing a LOT of customers.
Same here, I am not gonna go along with this.If this is the future I think I'm done with multi console gaming. Maybe if Nintendo sticks to the usual gen stuff I will grab that.
Your move, Microsoft.

Man, I hate this Sony.
Can we stop fragmenting PS4 game development?
First party studios will have to focus between PS4, PS4.5 and VR? Time for bed, Sony.

Sony and MS want that mobile phone money.
People upgrade their phone every 2 years.
It´s the Apple thing: 3 3S 4 4S 5 5S
I think it´s really cool.
Games will stay compatible, but look better on a 4,5.
Something had to be done. The PS4 and Xbox One were sub par, at best.
The only word I have is "wow".
First Microsoft talk of incremental upgrades and now Sony apparently have.
If this is where consoles are headed I'm just gonna sell my Xbox and put the money towards upgrading my PC some more.
I think a lot of the fears here are justified. Most people are afraid that instead of going from 8 year gaps in consoles, we will suddenly begin moving to 2 year gaps where the predecessor becomes obsolete.
In this world where PS3/360 still sell millions of copies, Sony and Microsoft aren't stupid enough to suddenly shift their profit drivers to hardware and not royalties from software.
Sure but since GAF is neutral on platforms Sony's loss could be Microsoft's gain so it all evens out for gaming.There are SO many ways for this to go horribly wrong....I

See this is what we im trying to wrap my head around
This has to be a model revision building in VR juice and allowing 4K video
The leap required for 4k gaming? Come the fuck on
They've already implied they're doing this.
The idea is really possible by today's standarts in a way, where PC seems to outrun everyone in the first place. Let's not forget Nintendo did the first plunge with their New N3DS. When that happened, it just fractured their install base, and their install base is waayyyy more populated than the PS4 20 millions adopters. If Nintendo was ready to do so, I don't see why Sony wouldn't follow...
Man, I hate this Sony.
