how does switching to PC make Sense if all PC gaming is about newer hardware every month?

Can't wait for E3. Everything is turning out exactly the way they said it would since before the PS4 launched. X86 and the standard GPU was a decision to create a scalable platform from day zero.

This is a great path for consoles to take. It leads to the platform staying relevent longer, and the life cycle extending greatly. This will allow the PS5 to be a true generational leap, and bring in a completely new way to develop and play games.

4TFlop GPU but only a 500Mhz upclock to the CPU? That doesn't sound right. That's not gonna give 60fps to some 30fps some games.

What this does is make those dipping 30fps games a solid 30fps and the 60fps games a solid 60fps.

The sour grapes in here... would make your lips curl up into your mouth so far it would make you think your head had turned into an arse.

So the NX specs leaked and we are not aware of it?

 Again another ps4 lack of power statement, ps4 runs the psvr very well I might add. I don't think many of you realize how much the reduced resolution of the PSVR helps the ps4 keep up. 960 per eye and the stereoscopic rendering ability was something baked into the hardware from launch.

A ps4k isn't going to increase the resolution of the PSVR, it would only create two classes of VR users within the ps4 environment,  NEO'S and non Neo's with ZERO of the increased ability going to resolution and all the the extra hardware to push greater fidelity or framerate. I'm spending enough on the PSVR as it is, now to be told I'm going to need a new console too? Huge mistake, and horrible timing with PSVR releasing.

 Demonstrating the PSVR in store connected to a ps4k would be a big mistake, because owners then of ps4 might be reluctant to buy thinking their console can't handle it.

Console video game development is not a matter of tweaking sliders. Engines are not designed to support this new specification. It's actually a whole pile of extra work, and literally double the QA cost when there is literally zero expectation for increased sales. None.

Video game developers get nothing out of supporting a higher-spec console except lower profits.

I got my Neo, and my Morpheus hooked up yo!

:) I kinda like the sound of that so I kinda hope the codenames atleast where real.

Hey. Console video game developer here. I actually was on a team that ported a game from the PS3 to PSV. Please tell me why the most difficult, tedious times of my video game making career was "nothing". Please tell me how my team of 50+ people putting in 60 hour weeks for months straight just trying to get the game run at more than 5 fps was "nothing". It was damn near impossible. The game was nearly cancelled because we actually reached a point where we thought it might not actually be able to be done. Everything had to be redone, scaled down and simplified to run on the PSV.  3D models, textures, animation rigs, animations, audio, AI, shaders, the entire menu system, controls, you name it, and I'm not even getting into the engine team who banked enough overtime to get 3 months straight off when the game finally shipped.

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

People are making this out to be a big deal because it actually is a big deal. It might look easy on paper to those who have no clue how console video games are made or the tools we have available to us to make them, but for those of use that do this is actually pretty difficult and represents a pile more work.

Need another example? Just look at the clusterfuck that is PC ports coming out of Microsoft's UWP. What about this whole thing makes you think it's "easy".

Hmmm we've got more than 50% marketshare...how should we fuck this up? Don't worry fam i got this, introduce a 4.5 console that causes a massive rift in the community.
