It actually makes a lot of sense. I mean we have $2000 gaming laptops that ship with 1080p screens. We also have the cheaper 1080p consoles outselling the 4k versions by like 4:1. The simple truth is that even though 4K is increasingly popular a majority of the console user base simply wouldn't care. They would buy the 1080p version over the 4k one. 

They will not.

I for the one don't care for the PS4 Pro, and sticked to the Slim, but I would never buy that Lockhart thing, never.

4k and its benefits is this next gen reality, it's where development is focused, why would anyone ever buy it makes no sense to me, Anaconda will be the base, not the other way around, people would be buying junk instead of a next gen system.

By the way, PS5 will be the stronger system like PS4 was if those are the actual specs, so even Anaconda will be in an awkward position, sitting between junk while posing to be premium and the actual premium system that will be with the competition.

If this is really their plan, Sony will have another really smooth gen ahead of them.

I wouldn't buy the 1080p version either. But thats just a me thing. A 1080p Lockhart will be no different than those that can only afford to run their games at ultra settings but in 1080p Its just a resolution difference. The game itself will not be affected in any way. Yes the PS5 and annaconda will be the base consoles, and thse will run in 4k. All lockhart will do is run those 4k games at a lower rez.

But think of it, most parents buying a console fr their kid, uncle buying present, will all buy the cheaper version as long as it plays the same games. Hell those kids wont even care for the difference between 1080p and 4k. Its not like all of a sudden in 2020 EVERYONE has  4kTV.

And how do we know sony isn't going to do something similar?

This is just a smart way to sell a cheaper (like $300) console for $400 to allow them sell a $600 console for $500.
