You said "This is the future of Xbox, and Playstation, will be Yearly Updates" Yearly Updates means 1 Update per year or more updates, Developes would be pissed, would not support consoles anymore, Consumers would be pissed, and would build a PC Instead, the Smart guys would build a "Pre-Build PC Gaming company" that help people to build their PC for game, everyone would switch for PC, because would be the better option, better than have to Upgrade your console 1 time per year, the games would be better, and would have 100% of the Support from developers, consoles would die, and all the 3 others would publish games on PC, with 1 Move, you doomed the Biggest Video Game market, that is Alive for 8 Generations since the 70s-80s, only because of Bullshit.

8 Generations in 40-45 Years, is 4.4-5 Years per Generation, so the Wait isn't so much, and the old generation still get support for a while after the release of the another, so there is no need in rushing the things.

Yes every year will see updates to the console. That has been happening ever since Sony entered the market with PS1. PS4 day one is not the same console it is today. Right now the PS4 on the market is like a CUH3xxxx. Not every revision would be a new generation either. generations will still last 6 - 10 years. 

What happens is say next year when the fab process goes from 28nm to 14 or 16nm, the 2017 PS4 CUH5xxxx would get a GPU/CPU/RAM upgrade. This would still be a PlayStation 4, it would still run all PS4 games, software, and services, and it would still play online agaianst all previous PS4's. It would simpily be a 5 gen PS4, and it would become the new standard model going forward. This PS4 would eleminate the need of the external unit for VR required on PS4 CUH1xxx - 4xxx models. It would also have the benifit of perhaps a little extra RAM, and a better APU capable of 1080p/60fps or 4k/30fps.

This would absolutly not kill the console market. It woould actually make developers happy due to lifting the cap on development. It gives those that want a faster machine with better graphics the option, but it also lets people with day one PS4's continue to get all the same experiences at the same level they have been getting. It is a win for consumers, developers, publishers, and the manufacturer. 

If anything this could make the PS4 last much longer as a true PS5 would not be needed for longer, and that system could have a truly massive leap due to the time between the development of the techs.

Where are you basing it being overkill to have a PC in your home let alone desk job or even at a corporation?.

There are still OS's like Linux that are always going to be used by other people including Steam OS, WIndows is still going to be Windows, not Xbox.

Yes Windows PCs are going to be Windows PCs, and enterprise companies will continue to need that form of hardware, but it is absolutly not necessary at home, unless your are developing games, or running a home business. Everything else is completely capable on Xbox. Whether you are doing Photoshop, Video editing, Facebooking, watching movies, or playing games, the Xbox will be more than enough to handle that for 99.9% of homes. This is proved by the fact that right now, there are less PC's as powerful  or stronger than XBO in homes than their are XBO's. 

By having Xbox become the standard PC in homes, it will actually greatly increase the average performance of windows PC's in peoples homes. Right now the PS4 and XBO are the most powerful device in 99% of the homes they occupy. The PS4 and XBO revisions will take that a step further, and put them even further above the common PC.

People have a serious misconception of what is really going on, needed, reality in the PC market. I don't know if it is just a matter of people in the gaming community not actually getting out and meeting a lot of people, or perhapps the circles they are in are to similar to them. The fact of the matter though, is out in the real world, things are a lot different than the picture I see in here.

This is really wrong, why in the hell people think that Developers need the Top-line Tecnology Day 1 it launchs ?, they need a Install base, if they have Games of 8 Bits selling 400 Millions units on 1 Console, they will not bother making Actual games to sell 2-3 Millions of Units, this move Break the Install base, and split it, pissing Fans, because they would be Punished because they Supported your brand since the beggining, the Developers, would be pissed, because would need to make Versions for all the consoles, it would Add Millions of US$ of Development Cost, and the worst, will need Much more people for Quality Control, so people that would be working on only 1 Game, or making another game for the same Studio, are now Locked to one game only because of Development to several devices, this also slow the Development of other games, and Erase games from the Existence before they even born.

 

Developers, as said by someone else on this thread, will not work on Previous versions, and will not use the power of the most powerful versions, pissing who paid more for the better, and who supported the brand since day 1.

 

There is a big difference between Releasing a more powerful version, and releasing something with SSDHD, and more Hard Disk Storage, this does not piss fans, the early ps4 adopters will not care if the new ones have better loading time, and have more storage for games, in the end all will look the Same, people purchase console because they know that  Bill Gate.JR's Xbox, will run the same way as the Newspaper Deliveryman's Xbox, so everyone can enjoy the game the same way the developers  want the people to enjoy.

if People want to be at the Edge aways, purchase a Top-line PC, and update it 1 time per year, for aways be at the Edge, the Console Gamers, don't want this.
