Forums - Sony - PlayStation 4.5 PRICE, RELEASE DATE! - The Know (RUMOUR?)

Hopefully they won't do the same thing like Nintendo with New 3DS and bring exclusive games to PS4k.. :/



Around the Network

Their sources are the same rumors and speculations.
They only keep building on the rumors to get hits, the know lol.

Case in point, they keep referring to DF's speculation article as 'proof'



i believe that it is mainly make for a more solid improved framerate performance for both ordinary PS4 games and upcoming PSVR...

If this is actually happening, I gotta say it is a monumentally bad idea from Sony, and a horrendous PR disaster in the making. I'm talking Don Mattrick "#DealWithIt" level of PR disaster.

My only question to Sony execs is: WHAT THE F**K ARE YOU THINKING??!?!?!

Seriously. Let's take the best selling console by FAR this gen and torpedo existing sales, fracture the user base, and alienate customers by releasing a "slightly better" version of the PS4 mid-cycle. I could maybe understand if this was some desperation move from MS for the X1, but the PS4?

Why, why, WHY screw up an (up to now) nearly perfectly designed, launched, marketed, and supported console by sh*tting on a 40Mil customer base just to introduce a speed-bump SKU? Stupid, Sony. Very very stupid. I guess it's true; any amount of success in this industry (PS2, Xbox360) breeds corporate greed and hubris.

I don't know what you're getting all puffed up over. From what I can tell, it's a PS4 with a 4K upscaler ("uprezzing", lol) and a UHD Bluray Player built in. If those things don't matter to you, save $100. It's a pretty simple thing.

If there's a noticeable difference in how games perform between the new PS4 and original PS4, then I feel it's a serious problem...

Its what The Midia do, we are in one of the Slowest months of Gaming News, because every single company is saving all their surprises for E3, the Youtubers, and the Midia, don't have nothing to do, so they keep Spinning a Rumor that can lead into Clicks, until they get something really relevant to talk about.

If there wasn't, what would be the point?

Upscaling and UHD Bluray support.

I refuse to believe this, Sony can't be this stupid.

If there is any kind of performance bump in videogames then Sony deserves another PS3 launch disaster, looks like they will never learn.

However if this is only for netflix and that stuff well i don't really give a shit, that's fine.

The built in upscaler is something that TVs do anyway, so not a big difference. However, this does seem mostly to add 4K streaming and UHD Bluray.
