My apologies if Sony said about upgradeable hardware every 3 years or so. I honestly wasn't aware. I'm speculating on the knee jerk reaction, but I heard no rumours about an upgradeable PS4 until 1 month after MS official announcement. In all honesty alot of different people are saying its a true rumour. Many sources. If Sony do this, but fail to increase ram etc like Xbox version 2 they may hurt the PS4 image. Especially if its more expensive than the current model but doesn't increase power like Xbox version 2.
I'm expecting a 12gb DDR4, 128 Mb Edram, 2x better gpu and overcooked CPU for Xbox Version 2 to be announced before the years out. MS have clearly been researching this for over a year now. And confident enough to announce their plans last month. I also think this is why MS haven't spoken about VR. I believe they will work with Oculus on version 2. Meaning Sony spent loads of money on R&D, where MS wont have. And Oculus Rift will have PC and Xbox One for gamers to enjoy. I really believe Sony should have gone with Oculus to. And waited till either PS5 or copy MS and release new versions every 3 years.

Nobody said anything about an 'upgradeable PS4' and no one is talking about it now. They talked about a new SKU and we're now talking about a new SKU. It's not about it being upgradeable.

All the rumours I've read say a better gpu. some say higher clocked CPU. Some say about an hdmi in. And they also suggest that revs might have access to not all the extra power but some of it. Meaning games will be smoother and maintain 1080p a bit better. Also PSVR will be smoother with the upgrade.
Personally MS took them by surprise with their announcement. I think they were just going to release a slim PS4. But then saw MS announcement and have decided to add better hardware. The question is how it compares for power and price to Xbox version 2.
