| TheBlackNaruto said: Yeah I can totally understand that. As a single father though it doesn't bother me because I know what is going on. A lot of those sinlge moms have no idea what the difference is between the PS4 and the PS4K and more than likely outside of the harcore gamers the kids won't know either. Heck you still have a lot of people that don't know the differences between the PS1, PS2, PS3 and PS4 they just see it as a playstation heck some call everything a Nintendo still lol. So the average consumer won't even be hindered by this. We the hardcore crowd are the ones that are making a big deal about it because we are spoiled and want things the way we want it. For the average buyer this won't even bother them in the slightest. All they will care about is if it plays PS4 games, will they be able to play with their friends online and does it have maybe a few apps like Netflix, Hulu etc....they aren't going to be bothered by one having a better frame rate, SLIGHTLY better graphics and processing power etc...the only ones that would even care about that are US. The hardcore crowd who visit these forums. And why it even bothers us is beyond me because we are not forced to upgrade our current PS4s(even though I won't have mine until May 10th lol) and they will still work fine and will be able to play every game that is out and comes out. So I guess your points while understandable are just not real yet so why not address them when or IF they come true. Because as of now we have been told that it will not happen. There were many revisions to the PS3 yet every game was still playable on every PS3. I know it is not the exact same scenario but you get this picture. This is being made into a big deal and from what has been released this won't have any impact outside of pushing 4k TVs and movies. So as you said time will tell so let's just wait and see how things play out. |
The bolded parts are very true. The average consumer doesn't care about slight upgrades. When they realize that the cheaper version does the same tricks like the expensive one besides some less pixels here and there that you won't even see while gaming anyway, they will buy the cheaper version. They probably would rather spend the saved money on some games instead of wasting money on those few pixels. So from a sales perspective it's even more irritating why a PS4.5 should be introduced. Therefore I believe that the PS4.5 will replace the PS4 at some day.
