With all this PS4k / PS4.5 talk, everyone is divided on if they really want a piece of new hardware or not.

But here's a thought, what if this wasn't a new piece of hardware, but rather software?

What if developers have been given upgraded PS4 specs to work with and improved versions will be able to be played by users via PS Now?

You can still buy this disc for the standard PS4 game, but you can stream a higher quality version through PS Now.  Having played PS Now, I can say that it work very well.  We also know that PS4 can output in 4K for things like videos on a USB stick and 4k photos, and services like Netflix can stream videos in 4k.

So maybe Sony are not making new user-end hardware, but new hardware at their server end which will allow for improved games.  What do you all think of that?

 

There is no reason sony needs to release a a PS4.5 . It is selling more than any other console in the history and no one can stop that. It is superior (graphically) compared to the Xbox One and even the PS VR will sell very well (Depending on the news of the last few weeks).

I think they are planing a new modell  only(Slim ?)

A cloud support (A software that streams your games) is a kill for the games. Imagine the case where two players are playing an online FPS (say battlefield). The one playing the game running on the console will have a lower latency than the one on the cloud.
