Guys, guys, guys.....
Slow wayyyyyy down.

First of all I think the 4K is a misunderstanding, I am sure they just mean UHD. That isn't full 4k but beyond 1080p.

Second, of course there would be a trade-in scheme for at least 6 months where you can get the upgrade for between 150 to 200 euro. depending on the final spec.

Third..... so it's ok to upgrade your phone every year or two but 3-4 years is too soon for a console upgrade.

Fourth: I expect this PS4.5 to release just before the 5 year mark, they were saying this gen would only last 5 years anyway so.... what's the problem?

Fifth: This means PSVR will not be obsolete the minute they transition hardware. That is reassuring for buyers of the platform.

Sixth: PS4 owners wont be left too far behind, they will not be left without the capability to play the latest titles (just at 30fps etc)

Didn't realise consoles can go on contracts.

As we were discussing earlier, this would probably release at the end of 2018 or into 2019. 5+ years is not mobile territory, in fact most people were expecting this console cycle to last only 5 years max. If this guarentees that your entire catalogue of games carries forward along with peripherals, I can see this saving money in the long run. Not to mention if there was a good trade in scheme....
