Sony - PS4 Prediction Thread - View Post

PS4 needs to have upgradable GPU!!!

make a $350 PS4 with a good GPU and a slot in the back of the console to connect a external GPU direct to the motherboard. Then sell a very good external GPU for $200-400 on the launch(or not, maybe later)

Ps.: Every game needs to be built around the basic PS4 version. Then Sony just need to make a good dev kit to allow developers to improve the game easily. But sony needs also to allow more dedicated Devs to program
direct on the new GPU, ensuring that the gamers that bought this have a better experience.

This strategy ensures that PS4 have a more popular launch. But also ensures that the console will continue to have amazing graphics in the future.

Maybe a extra GPU would allow not only better graphics. But developers may work to make 60fps 3D games. And when Quad Full-HD releases, they should release a ultimate GPU, that supports the same games but in 3D 3820x2160.

This way, PS4 may be popular among "casual" and "hardcore" gamers.
Actually, even myself probably won't buy this thing for a while. But see what happened today, where a very cheap GPU can destroy the PS3's one.

->I will be happier, because I can buy my console by a lower price
->A few people will be happier, because they can play with better graphics
->Sony will be happier, because they can probably sell their console even more cheaply, because some people will buy a external GPU(which will generate a lot of money).



Well, why not?
