This has got to be fake. If Sony is working on new HW, then it would most definitely be the PS5, not a PS4.5. Considering we are only 2-3 years away from the PS5's launch, it would make sense for them to be prepping for it, now. There is no point in coming out with a half measure. They never work. Especially not in the home console market. Console gamers want to buy HW, know it'll last them through a 5-6 year gen, then purchase a much better predecessor. It's really the same reason I see the NX failing, as it seems to be Nintendo's own "32X" to get them through the rest of this gen and through the beginning of the next.
Besides, a GPU that can pull off 4K with PS4 level graphics would be too expensive, right now. In 2018/19, not so much. Are we really talking about a $499+ PS4.5?
