| Soundwave said: Yeah I'm not buying the PS5 at launch now either. I haven't played enough of my PS4 thus far, had I known this is how things were going to go down, I'd have waited for PS4.5. I don't mind iterative upgrades per se, but if Sony was going to adopt this model, they should have been honest from the get go and said so. |
I don't think anything was set in stone. Back last year "Ito-san immediately clarified that he has nothing specific to announce, but the adoption of the X86 architecture, made performance improvements in due time possible. Yet, Ito-san continued, the real question is whether those improvements should be made or not." Although PR spin would be inevitable eitherway, I don't think sony would have taken a decision like this lightly. Deciding on something like this before the PS4 was even out would be kind of stupid.
I'd imagine PS5's iterative upgrades would be built into its functionality and extrernal add ons will be available as well as repackeged boxes.
