"That’s why providing a standard performance version of the PS4 and a high performance version of the console side-by-side is, according to Ito-san, an idea that might be considered."

It means something quite clearly, I don't think anyone is jumping to conclusions. Merely that its more likely this gen then it has been before.

As the article states, it was hypothetical. 

So really it means nothing. 

The realities of the PS4's hardware and architecture is not hypothetical, upgrades are easier now then last gen.  The hypothesis is that sony introduces a newer system. Ito-san merely reinstated that upgraded hardware is more viable now then it was in the past. Nothing more, nothing less.

"Ito-san immediately clarified that he has nothing specific to announce, but the adoption of the X86 architecture, made performance improvements in due time possible."
