Hyrule Warriors Legends on 3DS shows why PS4.5 might not be a good idea.

How exactly is Nintendo changing my percpetion of the situation? Didn't I just say that Hyrule Warriors Legends is playable on both regular 3DS and New 3DS? And other than that, it was developed by a third party so the quality of the standard 3DS version isn't Nintendo's fault. I'm starting to think that you're just really biased against Nintendo. =P

This got out of hand, anyway. I only mentioned the possibility of there being PS4.5 exclusives in the penultimate sentence of the OP, and the focus was more on the the possibilty that the PS4 versions of the games could end up terrible. I think you're just looking for a reason to get angry at this point.

Answer me this: Would you rather that a game safely end up as an exclusive to the more powerful hardware, or that the developers spend extra money trying to chug out a subpar version of the product for the standard PS4 users? I'd rather have no product at all than a crappy version of a game a few users are getting. Even if Sony didn't make the rule that games had to avaliable for both versions, from a business standpoint, third parties would want to release the game on both versions of the console anyway. Because money.

Bahaha, if anything, it's your bias for Nintendo. The way you think is the Nintendo way, which is exactly why you are comparing Sony to Nintendo right now, which you shouldn't because Sony runs their gaming division completely different and if anything they look at how Microsoft runs their gaming division when making business decisions. 

You think Sony would release a upgraded console that would have exclusive games because that's what Nintendo did. For some reason you think Sony would shorten their console's life cycle because what? Nintendo has short life cycles?

There is absolutely no reason to think Sony would release PS4.5 exclusive games because it barely passed it's 2nd year. For some reason you are worrying over what the PS4.5 might be because of what you know from Nintendo which is exactly the reason you are comparing them. So nice try, trying to make me look like a troll.

EDIT: Basically, Sony fans have nothing to worry about because everything you mentioned is Nintendo related, and Sony does not work like that. Plain and simple.

The thread was more about how developers could make their standard PS4 version games if they were to develop the games based around the PS4.5's specs. If you read my previous reply to you, you already understand this. Exclusivity, as well as how the first parties run their companies has very little to do with the point I was trying to make in the OP. If I were to take away every detail of Nintendo from the OP, it would still be cohesive, and it would all make sense: It would read something like this:

What will happen with the PS4 may not be as severe, but it'll still happen. Devs will immediately get ahead of themselves and begin to think more of what the PS4.5 is capable of instead of whether it'll be good for a regular PS4 user. This is going to lead to PS4.5 exclusives, or even worse, games that run god awful on regular PS4 hardware, but fine on PS4.5. And we don't want that, now do we?

I said the word "exclusivity" once. ONCE. And yes, as a matter of fact, despite you being a fan of Sony or whatever you are, you don't know for sure whether they'll decide to allow devs to make exclusives or not. It doesn't make as little sense as you think, from a business standpoint. Because really, third parties won't risk losing money on making it PS4.5 exclusive unless a standard PS4 version will run awful. Even then, they'll most likely release it on standard PS4 anyway because they want to make as much money as they can. 

Also, the thread was created on the foundations of what I first thought when I heard about this supposed PS4.5. I created this thread right away when I realized how similar the situation with HWL is to what I thought could be a possible situation with the PS4.5. Come on.
