Fair enough, its a very necessary question 

I understand that. I'm actually talking about this from a developer perspective. The same number of people are still going to buy your game whether or not they have a PS4 or a PS4.5.

So whatever console manufacturer that goes this route has two choices -  make support optional, and no one will bother because its extra work for no real extra gain in terms of sales and profits. Or, make support mandatory and drive up development costs, while maintaining the same number of sales.

 It'll just look nicer on their PS4.5. That doesn't put any additional dollars in the developers pockets, leaving no incentive to support such an initiative.

Well lets say COD developer decides not to have 4K support. But Battelfield does. Lots of people are going to switch to the 4K Battlefield as the flagship military FPS. 

Stuff like that will force devs hands. You can sit still, but the competetion is always hungry.
