I can't believe consoles have gone down this route of releasing upgraded current versions. This is now sadly going to be the case for every gen yet to come. I know it's not forced upon us and we don't have to buy the upgraded version, but I can't help feel it's going to be a signicant upgrade and games that utilise it are going to have a blatant difference n performance, so much so that that, gamers that don't upgrade are going to be missing out on the "real" experience of those games. For instance Sony have already said that no mans sky is basically going to be a lot better on neo.

I think its fair, as long as the price is right. With this push to iterative consoles it makes eveeyone happy and allows the platform holders morr flexibility. 

I bought my PS4 for $400. So people like me obviously have no qualms spending that much for a console. There are some that don't want to spend more than $200-$300 for a console. Now they have that option.

The way I see it, if you want the best that console gaming can offer, then be willing to pay a slight premium. If you don't wanna do that, then be willing to settle for a little less performance since what you are getting is the budget version. 

If you care enough about perfrmance then put your money where your mouth is. If you don't, then there is something there for you too.
