One of console gamings defining qualities are the long refresh cycles and benefits that come with optimization for a static platform, such as stability, support, cost saving on incremental upgrades etc. This new way of releasing products might turn a lot of gamers off. 

No it wouldn't. The internet is not real life. Everyone is out to get the best product for themselves. If there is a newer and better product it will be bought if there is money and desire for it. Which people would it turn off though? The ones who already  bought the old console? What are they gonna do? Stop buying games and quit gaming?

Bad press is unbelievably overrated. Just look at the 2 most hated and ridiculed game publishers. And now guess who is still able to announce record profits?

A PS4.5 would not hurt Sony. The only ones hurt would be people who bought the old console and can't or don't want to afford a new console. Not physically of course but their envy for everyone else will be palpable.

Alright, what I mean is, it would frustrate me personally because I just got my PS4 last Christmas and am already planning on getting PSVR. 

 

 

I like gaming, but it has NEVER hypothetically cost this much before.
