I think a lot of people are looking at this wrong. I don't see a bunch of expansion peices being added. I am talking about a PS4 mid cycle edition.
This would be a new PS4 model going forward from say 2018 tgrough the telease of PS5 in 2023 or whatever. The model would take advantage of the chip fab going from 28nm to 16nm or less. With this Sony can offer extra CPU and GPU power, and a small bump in RAM.
In this scenario, all games would be playable on the current PS4 at 1080p 30fps, but PS4 spec 2 would play games at 1440p/60fps or 4k/30fps. It would also allow expansion of multitasking and non gaming functions. In addition it would include the include the VR chipset, and additional ports to support the PSVR headset and additional accessories or external hdd's.
The tech for a PS5 would not be justified by 2018 or 2020. Sony can not build a $400 consolebthat can make a yrue next gen increase for many years to come, but it can release an up to date PS4 that can continue to be a strong gaming platform for a few more years, and not split the userbase of PS4 1.0 users.
Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
