The placebo effect. Yes, that's partially true and that's what marketing is there for, but it can work only to a certain degree. I believe the resolution increase model is already showing its limits, each step requires exponentially more power while real world returns are becoming less and less noticeable.

More likely the future of game techlonlogies will be split between more portable and felxible solutions (Switch, tablets, steam) and highly immersive VR devices.

Hmm, I just feel like they'll try to suck out the differences for a long as possible.

Of course as long as the market is healty they'll continue to milk it. But I bet this year Sony's conference is going to have strong focus on VR.

In perspective if Sony manages to arrive there with a mass market product first they'll have better grow opportunities. If they remain only in TV space they'll risk of getting their market shares eroded by PCs and other devices. After all Sony itself admitted the Ps4 Pro was meant to prevent their userbase to migrate to PCs (https://www.polygon.com/2016/9/9/12867004/ps4-pro-vs-pc-xbox-one-project-scorpio)
