So according to this, they're going to sell the models alongside one another.
Interesting.
An external GPU? How the hell are you going to connect it to the PS4 without taking a huge bandwidth hit?Why doesn't Sony take advantage of an external GPU for its existing install base?
As long as games are still written for the base model, then there's no issue with this.
PlayStation 4 Pro.
Xbox One Pro.
I'll keep repeating myself until it happens.
It's not much different from the upgrade from the DS to the 3DS in my mind - I'm totally happy with this, and I don't think we'll suddenly get a total exodus of 'original PS4' games/developers just because there is a more powerful version available. The huge PS4 install base won't disappear overnight.
Whatever people have against churning out new models, if Sony does this right it's a smart business move. First adopter console enthusiasts have a lot of discretionary income they're willing to spend and they value that increased horsepower. 7 year console cycles are an antiquated notion if they can make the software catalogue forwards compatible.
Yes. I would think so.It's impossible that this launches alongside PSVR, right ?
A new and upgraded PS4 this year sounds all kinds of crazy! This gen so far though .....
You obviously didn't read the other threads we've had on this subject then.As long as games are still written for the base model, then there's no issue with this.
So their Interpretation based on the same rumors? This is as legit as every post in the two threads here.
I do think they are going to sell this for four figures as a premium experience.I'm very intrigued but my question is how much is this bad boy going to cost?? Shit Samsung just started selling their 4K blu ray player and that is $300. You're telling me Sony is making a box that can play games at 4K? This thing is going to be $999 isn't it?
Of course they were. This PS4 slim nonsense never made sense with these rumors. Of course their will be a shrunk down PS4 but no it would not be more powerful as these rumors have been saying.So according to this, they're going to sell the models alongside one another.
Interesting.
I think they're trying to counter the NX. Maybe MS will do the same.
Now I kinda feel stupid buying 2 PS4 bundles (MGSV and Destiny) and a launch machine.

I most certainly won't be upgrading.How many of you that already own a PS4 will upgrade? I ain't since I do a majority of my gaming on PC nowadays. I ain't upgrading nothing until Sony releases PS5 .
"the people said"
lmfao
This move is so bizarre.
PS4 is in first place and is the most powerful console this gen. Who in the board room thought this wasn't enough for them?
Article says announced this year. Releasing next year would make much more sense.

They saw the NX and shat bricks.This move is so bizarre.

"PS4 is selling at a break neck pace, nothing can stop it!"
"But it needs 4k"
"Ok, kill PS4 now and release PS4.5!"
This feels like it could singlehandedly kill PSVR and probably hurt future PS consoles a lot too. Announcing before PSVR launches seems like extra stupid timing so I'm still finding this hard to believe. Why would you basically tell people "hey might want to cancel those preorders and wait a while if you don't want shit to suck, losers!" while they still have ample time to just not buy PSVR at all.
Only last gen was that long. 5 years is barely any different from the 4 years it'd be if this thing launches next year
Am I the only one who cares more about improved frame rates than whether or not it can run 4k games? The idea of something like Bloodborne or even Uncharted 4 running at 60fps is pretty exciting.
