Is the outrage towards PS4K proof that console gamers care more about performance and visuals than they're willing to admit?

But this is just not  true. You only need the upgrade if you want really really high fidelity graphics in VR.

Everything we have been shown so far has been running on regular PS4 hardware.

 Well that contradicts all the posts saying the ps4 can't handle vr, or can't keep up with the pc's vr (which it doesn't need to), there's about 20+ posts in this thread alone that say it's to help with VR, why is it nessasary when what we've been shown so far works fine on the current ps4. Some of ypu are saying to won't fracture the player base but then go on to say it's going to fracture the psvr player base, on a device that's not even out yet.

If SONY release a ps4k before psvr it's going to cause a huge cluster #@×% , and if they release it after its going to enrage all the people who buy a psvr with a ps4.

There is nothing positive that can come out of this but please a few misguided hardcore fans that are constantly complaining the ps4 is underpowered. As was posted already in this thread, there's Zero point or satisfaction in chasing power, if you want to chase power there's already the pc market for you.

Doesn't help a whole lot selling 4k sets even because there's ZERO guarantee there will be any 4k gaming and nothing stopping people from buying a 4k Samsung instead of Sony.

Based on the down votes in the news thread, I think some of you are confused as to who exactly is the vocal minority in this case.

Some of you couldn't care a less about your fellow gamers you just care that YOU can afford to upgrade now or that you want better fidelity now, with no regard to how that's going to affect the brand overall and the future of console gaming. It seems very selfish and immature to me.

While I see where you are coming from at the CURRENT moment your complaints are just not real. The uses base will not be split. Currently all games will work on both systems. PSVR will work on both systems.  The upgrades to the PS4K are so minor that they won't make a huge difference outside of possible 4K output for movies and TV. The people "talking" about how the current PS4 can't handle VR are just talking. So why are you upset? I don't get it?
