i believe in it. it makes sense for everyone (sony, developers, consumers) for consoles to follow the same hardware revision model that apple did with iphone.

people are angry right now because the internet is always angry. in the end more frequency smaller hardware boosts with forward/backward compatibility is good for everyone. graphic whores can upgrade sooner. non-graphic whores can upgrade less frequency. developers no longer need to guess which hardware specs to target at generational upgrades which means consumers no longer need to wait that 1st year of shitty software support in the first year of a generational update.

ms is doing this too. like spencer said he isn't going to have anyone open up their xbox and swap out a graphics card. this is simple iphone6 to iphone 6S kind of revision. I"m still on my iphone 4S and everything i care about still works. i'm not sure how frequently i'm going to upgrade my playstation but it is nice to know i could go 3 years or 12 years and still keep playing.

 Unless Sony & Microsoft are going to start giving away consoles for $0 with 2 year Internet contract plans none of what you wrote is going to happen.

 It's apples to oranges. 

Where does all this push come from that the ps4 needs upgrading? Have you guys seen Uncharted? These systems and developers are just reaching their prime, we can rude this wave for 2 years now.

Sure will $2000 Pc's outperform the consoles, they sure will and ALWAYS have. It has ZERO bearing on the console market.

Steam box success might have had an impact but they look like they fizzled out.
