What is so bad about keeping all your games and peripherals, just to upgrade the box (PS4 to PS4.5)?

How can you say their normal console cycle is 5 years, when their first gen was 5 and a half, then 6, then 8? 

4 Years is way too short for the modern console. Sony's never done it, microsoft did it once but then took 9 years. And Nintendo even took 6 years between Wii and Wii U, and 5 years on their 'failed' Gamecube. 

I'm a huge playstation guy, but if this is a significant upgrade it's a definite mistake. 

its 1 year difference where is it too short? It wasd still 5 years not 6 years. And from the SNES to the PS1 its also only 5 years or even less

 

If Sony history happens again the slim is in the third year which is a lot shorter than their shortest generation which was 5 and a half years which somehow you say is normal for Sony to do 5 when their other generations have been 6 and 8 and 5.5. If you average that their generations is 6.5. A full 75% higher than you claim sonys console cycle ' almost' is

 

Why are we doing a gap from Nintendo to Sony? That's like saying that 0.5 of a generation is 1 year because of wii u to ps4..

 

Modern consoles as I said in my previous post should not be 4 years let alone 3 years as the slims of PlayStations always release in the 3rd year. If it's a normal slim with a little boost, fine but If it's significantly more powerful 'wiiu to xb1' then there is a problem
