Forums - Sony - Kotaku - Sources: Sony Is Working On A ‘PS4.5’

If this is true, so i will never purchase any Next Gen Console, i will only wait every console die, and this is what will happen if Xbox, Playstation, and Nintendo, make this move, and then all the games will be avaliable for PC.

Too much soul sacrifice ? Its only a rumor., I think clickbait rumor. Nobody gives a fuck about Kotaku.

I'm just expressing my opinion, i did the same thing when Xbox, announced the upgradable thing (the difference is that Xbox, was a Official announcement, and Playstation, is just a Rumor from a un-reliable source), i just want to show that i'm not a Fanboy, and that this Bullshit, would be the one that will piss me the most, about the Console gaming.

the PS4 is a console everyone is loving, so why divert people's attention with another one.   I think Sony is very clever to continue naming the new console as PS4 since it will ride the momentum the console is currently having.

Obviously they wont screw "early" PS4 adopters, and all the games will be able run on both PS4 consoles.   Since it will only have additional RAW power, and not a different arquitecture, compatibility with both consoles should be easy.

This really makes no sense, and would Break the momentum, and would kill the console market if this is a move that all the 3 will make, The Momentum would be able to continue with the Playstation 5, make a new PS4.5, Would send this mensage for consumers "So they don't really care about the early adopters, so lets just wait until the Ultimate Version is out", Microsoft, also made the same mistake, with too much Price Cuts, now everyone expect a price cut, before purchasing a Xbox One, is aways like this the Cicle, Xbox One Launch >>>>>>>>>Price Cut>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Sales up>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Sales Down>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Price Cut>>>>>>>>Sales up>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Sales Down>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Price Cut.

 

they need to be aware of that you are telling for you consumer, or otherwise they will be Doomed, the Lead-man in each company need to think about this.

It wont break the momentum since it will still be called PS4.   They wont say on the advertisement, that it is new with more raw power; because that would be stupid. They will just announce it is (maybe) a Slim version of the PS4, and will continue to make the same advertisement as before, nothing will change. People will continue to see PS4 everywhere, just what it is under the hood what will change.

PS 4 slim is fine with minor upgrades. It happens, as I think XBOX One would release an upgrade as well.
But it would be a disservice to the loyal Sony fans especially buying the old version in a week, then all of a sudden a newly upgraded version came in.



My prediction is they release slim version with a couple additional upgrades that will only affect media and not gaming. I am predicting the following upgrades

HDMI 1.4 to HDMI 2.0a
Upgraded blu-ray drive to support 4K Ultra HD discs
Wifi 802.11N to 802.11AC
4k upscaling chip to upscale none native 4K media to 4K

All stuff they already have available in there blu-ray players or planning to in the near future, therefore their very little additional R&D costs to add to PS4.



Better be a rumor. Between this and spencer saying he wants console upgrades for the xbone it seems like they're determined to undermine the very concept of the console.

Upgrades are for PCs... You're not supposed to have to keep buying new models with a console, as that really renders them pointless.

Yes, i agree that will be like this, just minor changes like the PS3 Slim, and Super Slim.

a 4K PS4, would cost more than 1000US$ for the consumer, and would piss off fans and developers.

While Nintendo starting the console gen halfway a usual generation makes sense?

Sony didn't release the Wii U.
