Ps4 owner, don't really know what I'd do if it happened, I'll be honest I'm slightly annoyed at the whole thing, I bought my ps4 launch day and I've been perfectly happy with it, there's nothing wrong with its performance and it'll be fine for the next 4-5 years. But now Sony (who have been really good with their customers) are sort of shitting on all the 39million owners that are now going to own the lower spec model through none of their choice. Sony should announce a trade back deal in which you trade your own ps4 back and get the "ps4k" for £100-£150.

I don't agree on the ''Sony shitting on all the 40M owners''; a new SKU is a plus, another option for the ones who don't own the console yet, and for the ones who are ready to get their second, more powerful PS4;  also, 3 years is not a very very short time, it's roughly half of the console current generation, and a more powerful PS4 will keep multiplatform games more close to the PC version as visual quality.  The exclusive games ? They will look stellar, but again you will play the same games on the previous model, just less stellar, not a big deal; believe me, most of casual gamers couldn't care less if they have the 1st model, now, and most of casual gamers will buy the new model when it will be cheaper; nothing will change, just a shorter life cycle for every new SKU, 3 years I would say. I like this if you ask me.

I haven't bought a PS4 yet, but Yes. PS4k. All the way.

Ideally this would also be enabled by an add on versus people having to replace their consoles entirely but I don't think the PS4 was made with a mid gen upgrade in mind.



I own a PS4 since August of last year, and knowing how hard it was to save money for it, I'm kinda on the fence. I'd like to know if there will be compatibility issues with other friends who still has the original console, plus those issues from games not working with one console or another.



Nope, I don't want to pay 400€ again for the same thing.
And I also don't own a 4k TV.



I will keep my PS4 for a while. When I upgrade it will probably be for a PS5. I don´t feel the need to buy everything out there.

Only if the PS4K somehow made online multiplayer free, which I doubt. And I don't own a 4K TV.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Not a chance. I don't have that kind of money to upgrade. If I did, I would've bought a New 3DS. Besides, I don't even have a 4K TV, so it'd be pointless. I'll stick with my normal PS4 until the PS5 is out.



Still have PS4 500GB stock here, maybe i would upgrade to "PS4K" if performance gets better.



I own a PS4, and will likely upgrade, even though I'm against the idea of releasing new, upgraded sku's within a console's life span. I usually don't support a concept I don't like by buying it, but, here we are.

Nope. i'd rather upgrade my pc, where I can actually get a consistent 60 fps. if the supposed upgraded consoles offered consistent 60 fps, then I would be all for them; but, as history shows, they will instead focus on visuals and 30 fps (mostly, since there are some exceptions). It's not worth it for 30 fps.
