Most games already run at 1080p/30fps, some even run at 1080p/60fps. All the updated PS4 would do is allow for 1080p/60fps across the board so it won't have to be anywhere near twice the power. They're calling it a PS4.5 for a reason. I think it could actually work and if marketed correctly wouldn't upset too many people. |
No. Gaming journalists are calling it PS4.5
Sony themselves just called it a PS4.1
And the marketing behind both of those are entirely different. PS4.5 sounds threatening to existing owners that don't like the idea of a more powerful system when the current one is a relative adolescent. A ps4.5 sounds like a pretty big leap. One that suggests current owners are missing out on something significant.
The way that you described it though, calling it a PS4 slim or even a Ps4.1 that's just packaged with the newer HDMI standard for 4K movies/media and a slightly more powerful GPU that allows consistent 1080P/60FPS sounds a lot more comforting if that makes sense. To me that means we're back at $400 which isn't too bad conceptually speaking. I wonder if this potential system has a form of PSVR integration.
