My issue is clear:

If you're going to bring two different model versions onto the market, You do it when you first launch:

$399 for PS4 = Sub par 1080p ~ 30FPS
$499~599 PS4 = 1080p Native 60FPS with 4k (movie playback?)

But to introduced a different more powerful model midterm after telling their customers that the PS4 was engineered with a 10 year life and that it will reach get 1080p native if the developer truly understands the architecture is plane false advertising to me. I'm not down with that. If they were upfront with it from the beginning and let the market decide which sku will sell better, I would totally understand their PS4 and PS4.5 versions then.

You are right, that would have been the best way to do it. It would have also been acceptable if Sony told the plans to increase performance of the PS4 in 3-4 years after launch from the start, but just throwing it out there with a few months notice, seems very dodgy towards current owners. Its all about how you present something and communication
