I don't get what the issue is. You have two choices.

A $300 900p-1080p choice or

A $500 1080p-4k choice.

You play the same game just with different settings. You pay either more or less for the setting you want.

But its like people saying, I want to pay $300 for a console and I don't want there to be a $500 version of my console out there.

Makes no sense to me.

I'm right with you on this. I am all for the new scalable console platfotm. It is not anywhere close to the burden devs faced making games for PS2/Xbox/PS3/360 or PS3/360/PS4XBO, because the PS4 and XBO family are all on near identical hardware, just scaled like making a game that runs on either a 450/460/470/480 GPU.

 

Like you have said, right now we will likely have,

 

Holiday 2016

PS4 - $299.99 

NEO - $499.99

 

Then, 

 

Holiday 2019

Neo - $299.99

PS4 Spec 2 - $499.99

 

This is great for consumers. It actually will see the product supported longer, and all content will continue to be supported going forward, meaning you don't have to start from Zero every 5 - 8 years.

 

Additionally, now Sony and Microsoft can keep the tech relevant longer, and when something like the PS5 comes out it can be a true leap. The PS5 can have SSD, HMB 3 or 4, and other more advanced tech that would be otherwise out of reach in the normal time span. This means bigger generational leaps, longer generations, and morw options. It doesn't get any better for consumers.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
