Most games are optimized before release, not downgrades. Often times these optimizations do involve some downgrading, but it still remains that even a game developed for the PS4.5 would have to be optimized before release, so it's not like they can just make the PS4.5 version and just downgrade it to the PS4 version. It doesn't work like that.

Um..  Yes. It does.  PC games can run at HIGHER resoltions on more capabale PC's and lower on those that cant.. Its been happening decades my friend. This would be NO different. Its not about just DOWNGRADING.. Its about having the better assets available for the PS4.5 and not on the PS4..

You're acting as if I don't make console video games for a living. I know exactly how it works. I have personally done the work myself. For example I worked on porting a PS3 game to the PSVita, and much of the work was about optimizing the game to run on much less capable hardware, and reducing the complexity of practically everything, from AI to audio to 3D models to animation to make the game run.

I totally get the process. PC games are made differently. Their engines are different, games are optimized differently. It's like oranges and grapefruits. They look pretty similar on the outside, but once you get inside you're looking at a familiar but also very different experience.
