I think this is a big big mistake if true. I'll probably cancel my PSVR order, and the PS4 would be my first and LAST SONY console.

Yeah, that and not buying any Sony published games; already the reason why i'm skipping R&C. I'll be keeping an eye on the NX and if it's going to be the only normal console from now on (I have doubts about that, there might not be one at all) i'll just move there and play whatever (few?) third party games get released there, and the traditionally-on-PS-niche-japanese-games on Vita/PC.

Just pretend the ps4.5 doesn't exist, it doesn't change the ps4 in anyway so it's still a normal console.

If the PS4 is getting a revision, will they tweak the controller too? Maybe an extra button, or a bigger battery life...



You know it deserves the GOTY.

It doesn't work like that, the PS4 does change

Still too slow to emulate the ps3....

How do you know? Seriously.



Dr.Vita on 19 April 2016

As long as the normal PS4 users will get the same games I am happy! :)
Hope that this one is true!




Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

Specs:

Original PS4
CPU: 8 Jaguar Cores at 1.6 GHz
GPU: AMD GCN, 18 CUs at 800 MHz
Memory: 8 GB GDDR5, 17 GB/s

NEO
CPU: 8 Jaguar Cores at 2.1 GHz
GPU: Improved AMD GCN, 36 CUs at 911 MHz
Memory: 8 GB GDDR5, 218 GB/s

Conspiracy theory time.

Id say this is the conspiracy. I believe PS4 had 176 gb/s

But let's get real: The "required parity" clause for devs, forcing them to offer 4.0 and 4.5 compatable games, will not last forever.
PS4 will sooner or later be deprecated, even if it continues in production as a lower tier console... And PS4.5 exclusives will gain traction,
once the install base justifies that move... Which again, isn't fundamentally different to a scenario where PS4.5 didn't happen but PS5 happened sooner.

Thats the one major part of your enitr post I disagree with. I've kinda said this before this announent that we are about to see the beginning of the cross generational generation of consoles. Where there is no longer a 5/6/7 but just a platfomr that has support for everything PlayStation or Xbox. 

I think people are (as expected) blowing all this outta proportion. it will make no difference whatsoever.  

in 10 years from now, devs should be allowed to make a game for the the PS5.5, that would still at least be able to run on the current PS4 even if it's at 720p@30fps@low settings. 

 

the real important thing here, is that son  is settig themselves up to not have to toss away their install base everytime they upgrade their console. 

but the responses I've seen in this thread tho......damn.... I just wanna know when it's comes out so I could buy one and sell my current PS4 for $150 or something. either way, PS4 install base goes up +1. And that's what a lot of people seem to be blind to. If someone just came and glossed over this thread, they would think that the Neo makes the core PS4 completely obsolete and that it will just stop working and playing/getting games.

I'm still worried about developers possibly neglecting normal PS4 versions...
