If that's _all_ it is, and there is zero difference in how games or VR perform between the 'old' model and the new one, then fine, your point is well taken. But it doesn't sound like it's just 4k support for video output and Bluray. It sounds like improved hardware that game devs would have the opportunity to exploit. If so, then Sony has enabled fracturing the user base the moment a game comes out that says "plays best on PS4.5". Or even worse "PS4.5 required". |
I don't see a problem even if the hardware is a bit more potent. Sony ofcourse has to make it mandatory for all games to run ("well" - not dropping to 25fps or sth like that) on the standard PS4 and allow higher fps/res/aa/additional effects on PS4K. In competitive multiplayer games that could mean PS4K users have a bit of an edge, but other than that it's really fine imo. And people with a racing wheel or a fighting stick or a KB&M adapter etc have a competitive edge on other users as well.
The graphical differences would likely be miniscule - essentially just some nicer, cleaner image quality - higher fps could make gameplay smoother though.
