You really do not seem to understand how this works......... Upgrading hardware does not change anything when the software is the same. It is the same as upgrading your CPU and GPU on a PC your old games will still work and the people with the old CPU and GPU will be able to play the same games with lower settings/resolution. That in no way "splits the base"

No, is not the same, Developers would need to work more and would need to move people for Quality control for each version of the game, this isn't  like the PC, the Players of the console version don't have the option to change settings, the Developers are the ones who need it, the Games would look worse on the First PS4, and the Power of the PS4.5 would never be used.

Developers have total control to turn settings on and off and change the resolution. Would not take anymore people than they already have.

 

If the PS4.5 DOES NOTHING but keep the FPS from dropping in some games then that would be enough for me but I expect its primary use will be for adding AA and more effects as well as better framerates in unlocked games
