They wont and shouldn't do this. They can't double dip this way.

You can get 2 sales out of 1 person doing it the way they did it this gen as you get the upgrade buys half way through the gen. Plus the premium console will be more powerful 3 years after launch than the premium one proposed here, so it would completely ruin the point of a hardware refresh AND they'd make less money.

No reason for any logically thinking company to do this.

My response to the poll is neither, this makes no sense for the consumer or manufacturer. 

Why do you think 'Ti' versions of graphics cards always come out after the original. Or the T versions of Oneplus phones, etc etc. 

Console makers doesn't really want double dips on HW since they don't make profit over it, they want userbase to sell SW. Double dip only helps in getting the second hand on another person hand and he using it to buy SW.
