the PS4 is a console everyone is loving, so why divert people's attention with another one.   I think Sony is very clever to continue naming the new console as PS4 since it will ride the momentum the console is currently having.

Obviously they wont screw "early" PS4 adopters, and all the games will be able run on both PS4 consoles.   Since it will only have additional RAW power, and not a different arquitecture, compatibility with both consoles should be easy.

This really makes no sense, and would Break the momentum, and would kill the console market if this is a move that all the 3 will make, The Momentum would be able to continue with the Playstation 5, make a new PS4.5, Would send this mensage for consumers "So they don't really care about the early adopters, so lets just wait until the Ultimate Version is out", Microsoft, also made the same mistake, with too much Price Cuts, now everyone expect a price cut, before purchasing a Xbox One, is aways like this the Cicle, Xbox One Launch >>>>>>>>>Price Cut>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Sales up>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Sales Down>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Price Cut>>>>>>>>Sales up>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Sales Down>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Price Cut.

 

they need to be aware of that you are telling for you consumer, or otherwise they will be Doomed, the Lead-man in each company need to think about this.

It wont break the momentum since it will still be called PS4.   They wont say on the advertisement, that it is new with more raw power; because that would be stupid. They will just announce it is (maybe) a Slim version of the PS4, and will continue to make the same advertisement as before, nothing will change. People will continue to see PS4 everywhere, just what it is under the hood what will change.
