Why bother putting all the time, money and effort making the a base PS4 build look great when you can just use what's available to you in the PS4K? If they develop with the PS4K as the main console, the Base PS4 becomes the "good enough" box, and by that I literally mean the least amount of effort to get the build to an acceptable level. |

There are 60m Xbox Ones and PS4's already in people's homes. Why would PS4k become the main development platform with zero installbase and no option for additional income for developers? They have every incentive to make sure the VAST majority of their audience aren't recieving poorly optimised games which will surely be pointed in reviews.
Theres a reason why PC games on Ultra look very similar to console versions, developers do not optimise for the most powerful hardware, they optimise for the most popular.
