If the PS4.5 sells really well, then yeah the priority will be for that instead of the original. Also, there's this thing called time. People only have so much time to optimize things, which is why consoles are a thing in the first place so that developers only have a couple platforms that they can really focus on and get the most out of, while when you get multiple iterations then it's hard to focus on all of them at once. This is really obvious with a lot of last gen ports and I don't see why it wouldn't be true here as well.Dude the priority for a developer is going to be reaching as much of the userbase as possible...
You really think that they're gonna alienate 40mil+ users??
Also what makes you think having stronger hardware prevents the weaker version from being maxed out?????
All i'm seeing in this thread, is "I don't want ppl to have better stuff than me" and then trying to rationalize it with theories so ridiculous, only a company that wanted to go bankrupt would even try it
The blow back in this thread reminds me a lot of when the evidence started mounting of the Xbox and PC userbase fusing. People demanded it was impossible and not real.
Welp
Kotaku ...lulz
This not gonna work if it's not backward and forward compatible like MS plans with One. It's the only way.
PS5 comments are dumb
Uh. Isn't 4K called 4K because it has 4 times the amount of pixels as 1080p, not twice.
Wait when it was about Xbox i remember lots of complaints about upgrades, i guess now instead that's a awesome news right?
I hope you are right.
It's PS5 with full BC, in late 2018.

No, that's not at all what they should have done. At minimum, PS4 will have been their most powerful product on the market for four years if this rumored upgrade releases in 2017. That's not far off from traditional cycles and it sounds like games will work on both consoles. If you want to upgrade mid cycle, you can. If not, wait for PS5 and those of us that hated the long wait between PS3 and PS4 will be happy with the change.
That proves nothing. For the record, I don't believe the rumor, but the statement is still correct right up until the release of an upgrade, and there's no way in hell he'd let plans of the upgrade slip at the PSVR event.
If Sony is launching early with a PS5, I can totally see developers / 'sources' calling it a 'PS4.5' if it's a beefed up PS4.
Hey, so regardless if the PS4K is a rumor or not,
what say some of you expert techies that know the ps4 and have toyed around with it,
is there anything there that be added to expand it's power, where would the "upgrade" even go, through the HDD, the USB ports?
Please do tell
You probably won't be left out. You'll most likely just have the worst experience of a game, which you were anyways if the game was on PC.If this really is what it sounds then Sony can shove its hardware. I just sell my PS4 and never buy another Sony hardware again.
Paying $400 for console that will get replaced by a better version 2-3 years later is not acceptable for a lot of us who live in this side of the world.
Since this is Patrick Klepek reporting this, I'm inclined to believe it. But no way in hell will a new PS4 play games at 4k.
Patrick Klepek broke the Infinity Ward stuff and Microsoft's backtracking on always online Xbox One. He doesn't make shit up.

Console generations don't matter anymore.

Not possible, there's nowhere near enough bandwidth through SATA 2 or USB 3.0.

PS4.5 doesn't make sense to me.
I'm of the opinion that this is the PS5 being reported on.
Sony is possibly cutting this gen short.
This probably completely fine with alot of people on here but for the masses,average joes...i dont see this going well

Yeah, I don't believe this one bit. 4K..... this thing is going to cost 1000 dollars if so. That's absolutely nuts. Taking this with a grain of salt.
