Would you buy a 9th or a 9.5th gen console???

That would be awesome for consumers, but probably bad for the manufacturers. People would have a choice, but then again when buying the cheaper version would feel that they are buying something worse, the inferior product. That would probably cause many people to wait with their purchase till a significant price cut to get the better version. I know that's what I'd do

Still, it would be a great idea to have the same game (from the very same disc) running on two different versions of the hardware with different performance, yet sharing multiplayer, etc. This would be a great way to extend the time of a generation. In fact, Sony and MS could do that even this gen. Instead of releasing a simple Slim, make a Slim and a PS4+/Xbone+. I would be all for it, if it finally gave us 1080p/60fps.

Still, I think from the business perspective it's best not to confuse the consumer and keep only one version of hardware. Sadly.

Do you think it will confuse? They could be the same but one bigger than the other, like iphone 6 and 6+ to make things more understandable with visual aid, and better thermal design.
