If they go the upgrade path I doubt there will be a ps5 or Xbox Next or whatever, people WON'T pay for a machine that requires upgrades every few years, many get consoles to avoid that crap. If they go that way then consoles die plain and simple, I am sure MS won't mind as that plays into their hands too, will be very ugly for sony though. I really think it is all just rumor though, at best the upgrade would just be a ps4 slim or blu ray upgrade, doing a major hardware upgrade would just kill the brand. |
Whoa, I'd prefer they not go this path either, but that seems awfully preemptive. Considering that nearly every other tech sector has annual refreshes and seem to still be alive, I doubt a few upgraded consoles are going to bring about the apocalyptic end of all we've ever known and loved. Building or buying high-tech PCs is still a complicated process, especially for those who aren't well-versed on the subject, and there will be plenty of people still willing to buy a console just to play Madden, Fifa or Call of Duty. I don't think having the best performing console on the market is going to kill Sony's brand, either.
