This simply is not true. The increased development costs and "lack of focus" or "lack of effort" due to having to make games in two PS4 versions are totally insignificant.

Where did you get the idea that online play in particular would require any special consideration just because there were two PS4s?

Already the extra resources needed to port between Xbox and PS4 in this gen are very minor, they are that small (<5% of dev costs). Because the two machines are quite similar. And obviously a PS4 and PS4K would be extremely similar. The extra effort needed to make two PS4 versions wouldn't be even 1%.

How do you know this? Seriously. Where are you getting this '<5% of dev costs'? What knowledge or experience are you drawing from when you say this extra work would only add another "1%" of dev costs?

I have this thing in the rear where I pull things from when I want to win arguments on forums.
