I expect they been harassed by developers, developers that have no respect for the people having to buy new hardware but only care about making their game look nice and not having to do boring optimisation work.

To give you an idea how much sway developers have one only has to look at 2 failed products.

Microsoft phone's, no developer support = dead.
Wii-u - developers said is too weak, didnt make games for it = almost dead.

The other factor may be VR and sony wanting to use PS4's to sell 4k tv's.

I just see the whole thing as a massive disaster waiting to happen.

Windows 10 - microsoft are begging to developers giving them everything they want, as they know they are the key to success. Hence the rapid development model and integration of things like bash.

In reply to a post by time2die:

Until you see what games can look like with developers such as Naughty Dog and Uncharted 4 which we all know will blow most of whats out at present completely out of the water.

I don't think the playstation 4 is that bad to be fair,it just depends on certain developers like Rockstar and Naughty Dog that seem to be way ahead of most other people in terms of games and presentation.

I mean just look at the quality from those two over the years,look how nice GTA5 looked on a ageing Playstation 3.

Completely agree with you, need to wait for some good developers to show us what the PS4 is capable of....which if we look at TLOU and GTA5 on PS3 then that should be a lot.

At the moment it doesn't sound like a good idea but lets wait and see when concrete information comes out.

If it is only to give more oomph for VR/4K and they fully support the PS4 moving forwards then they'll get away with it I guess but it's still all speculation really!

Your last paragraph makes no sense considering you are complaining about this rumoured upgrade.........

Your words......

Analysing sale values of PS4 on ebay, I think I need to move fast tho as they going to plummet in value when this gets confirmed.

Yeah lets not forget the classic The Last of Us ,How did i fail to mention that Gem of a game.

we need to wait, but I dont like waiting.

It is amazing tho how many people think a 2x horsepower upgrade is not a major upgrade, its absolutely huge. There is some people who have gone the other way who said this would disappoint them as its only a doubling up of power. If sony did change to a 2 year refresh model then they will be gutted everytime, as a doubling up of power every 2 years is more than the historical average.

move fast in selling it. Not upgrading it.

In a post launch era, resale values of ps4's will plummet.

So you will sell your playstation 4 and not upgrade......Makes little to no sense ?

Why don't you just keep it because it would be total madness on Sony behalf if they didn't support what has literally sold millions.

If the rumours are true and lets say at E3 Sony confirm the 4.5 or 4K and a price point and release date,how many people in your opinion will upgrade on Day 1.

If its marketed as a VR upgrade and nothing else then who cares if your not into VR,but if Sony says that future game development and future games will be 4k ready on the appropriate hardware then i will care.

I'd be amazed if the new interim Playstation will be 4k game ready seeing what it costs to be able to game in 4K on PC, even the top systems struggle with 4K right now!!
