The reason for a company to offer an upgrade is very simple- to make more money. Both MS and Sony know that there is a section of their consumer base interested in the latest new tech. Targeting these consumers extends beyond just console upgrades. There's been a noticeable increase in the focus on high end peripherals as well, controllers, headsets etc. A mid gen upgrade allows them to bridge the gap between generations and ultimately make more profit on hardware. In particular this generation the focus was on 4k. Next generation it may be something else entirely. |
It is all about the money. You are right. Just like paying for online is all about the money. Just like microtransactions are all about the money.
If all about the money was a good excuse, then every gamer would be happy..
