It doesn't matter what they want, it will be required by Sony. It's not any different from what Sony is doing right now with the PS Vita by requiring EVERY developer to support remote play for the Vita on PS4. If they don't support the PS4.5k then they won't be allowed to develop on the PS4. But no one is hell is going to do that. Lol, going by how difficult the PS3 was to develop for, I somehow feel like the PS3 would be more of a annoyance than the PS4+4.5 combined.

There's a difference between required to run on, and actually making use of the extra hardware. All 3DS games are required to run on N3DS and vice versa, almost none use the extra hardware. There is no incentive to make 2 different versions for the same user base. Either the NEO version gets mostly ignored, or the base version will be less optimized, ie run worse. There are not going to be 2 optimized versions for the price of 1.

I highly doubt Sony wants to give up their profits of the golden years (high margin attractively priced slim), piss off developers, and risk dividing the user base, while launching a new product, psvr. Well, maybe they are that stupid. I guess I'll stop trying to pre-order psvr for now, see what NX has to offer instead.

Well the thing, there is no developer stupid enough to ignore the PS4.5 users. Even if it has 1 million users, the developers wouldn't ignore them. And this is just better graphics we are talking about. Why do you guys think it's super hard? You are acting like they're developing on an alien platform. It would not be hard at all to use the extra power because that's all it is, extra power, nothing has changed other than that. You guys seriously need to calm down. You guys are just exaggerating it.

EDIT: I mean holy crap, Sony has found a easy way for developers to develop for 3 different platforms, PS4,PS3,PSV like it's nothing. These are 3 actual different platforms and you think Sony wouldn't make it super easy to develop using PS4.5?
