Turn PlayStation into something closer to an iPhone line. A console to get small revisions every 2 to 3 years, without a typical concept of a console cycle 

This was they keep the benefits of plug and play console, without being bound to deliver graphical improvements in every set number of years 

This is technically how PC GPU works. You don't need to upgrade in every Nvidea release, but eventually you will have to upgrade if you want to keep playing games in a acceptable state 

Microsoft said they were going to do this. But, gamers didn't like it, so they backed off, at least for a bit. I do think that's the direction that both Sony and Microsoft are heading though. I just don't think the transition will be complete until well after the launch of PS6. 

Gamers are stupid we've been know. Console generations are shit. I'd understand the issue for developers since it means much more money spent with testing and optimizing for different iterations of the same console, but for consumers this is the best approach

Well unless you're of one of the guys with strong FOMO who needs to upgrade their GPU every year
