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.

I domt think you understand what a ten year life span means. 

However, can you show me a single place that it was said or discussed that they will never make a PS4 that improves on the base model mid cycle?

Alright, so I'll regress on my expectations; it just seemed like what they were selling was something in the lines of what PS3 became, but better. That it was a machine that was made streamline to people to easily code for it, but that it would take time over the years for them to use all of the hidden attributes. They did not talk about 1080p native resolution, but that was because it had not become the standard of what gamers, I think, feel their AA, AAA, games need to be at (60fps wasn't much of the talking point either)

Here is what I was sold on, you make the judge on whether it is a bit missleading or not.

It gave me the sense of security that they would not modify the CPU and GPU until the PS5 would be announced. If you want to pull the, you didn't read the fine print argument, then I can say your right, but that is not the way it should be, and I will vote with my purchasing power.
