I haven't looked much into all those rumors, but the gist of them is that Sony is going to switch to a strategy where they will introduce more capable hardware* in order to raise the price back to $400 while the old model will bottom out at $300 before it gets phased out eventually (not right away). So I wouldn't be surprised to see a third PS4 model to launch a couple of years after the PS4.5 and repeat the same thing.

*More capable will hardly affect games, but rather other stuff.

I dont think there will be another PS4 after the PS4.5.

I think the plan from here on out is to do half steps.

4.0 -> 4,5 -> 5.0 -> 5.5 ect

Maybe Sony, is taking losses to sell it for 400US$

Yeah a loss of 100%. I't won't be a 4K gaming console. I still don't understand how anyone thinks it will be. More likely a Slim model with 4K video streaming, and possibly slightly more optimized. 4K just doesn't make sense right now, majority don't even own 4K tvs and the currently model of PSVR couldn't even take advantage of 4K. 

^ this.

The 4.5 is just a normal slim.. but because the step from 28nm -> 14nm FinFETs is so big... not only can they shrink it and make it less power hungry, but they can do that and make it faster at the same time.

 

Its just a slim version that upscales things abit.
