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.

i agree, I don't want a PS4.5, I think the whole idea is really bad.  I'm just addressing the idea of releasing new hardware with a different idea.

As for streaming players playing online VS hardware players.  I've played Street Fighter 4 via PS Now quite a bit, and it makes no difference.  In fact if anything, it's the oppisit to what you say.  Because the player in the cloud is already on Sonys lightning fast Online server, they have a better server connection than the hardware player.

The servers are better. But still there is latency to deal with.

If you are playing a streamed game, hitting the controller will send a signal to the console which sends a signal in the network to the the PSN servers.

If you are playing on your machine the signal will be sent to your console and DONE.
