This would be the dumbest move in PlayStation history if Sony actually does this.

It is such a horrific idea it's not even funny.

If this console exists in any capacity, the PS4.5 might be able to output in 4K for video files/4K blu ray only. It will not affect games unless Sony wants to piss off both developers and their fan base.

Why would they piss off developers?

I don't think having an optional, far more power SKU of the same/similar architecture will be much work on their behalf. Especially if resolution is the main use of that added power.

Because developers will likely have to pay for new and improve dev kits that run at this higher spec. Because developers will now literally have to do twice the testing. Because developers will have to make enhancements to the game to run at both specs.

It's more time, effort, and expense for developers to have to handle this. It's the main reason why there is only one game that is New 3DS exclusive, and that games was made by Nintendo themselves.
