So the same price as the current PS4 basically. Or well 50 bucks more after the price drop. Clearly this console is really for the Playstation VR, and unless non VR games come out for it, I see no reason to upgrade form the base PS4 if you are not interested in VR.
To be fair, it looks like Nintendo is about to do the same thing with the Wii U and it's "NX".sanquin said:
My initial reaction...is that this is a nuanced way to get you to pay for the same thing twice. It would be nearly impossible to do, but I'd love it if they had some kind of official trade-in program.
One thing I didn't hear anything about, is whether or not the console's increased power would improve performance for older Ps4 games, such as Bloodeborne.
That being said, I own multiple Nintendo handhelds...

Oh great... Well, seems like the big three are acknowledging that they basically released a poor performance console. As usually consoles last a lot longer than a mere 3 years. Now, as a PC gamer I'd say spending 400 dollars on new hardware in 3 years time isn't that expensive, but that's one of the few arguments left that consoles have in their favour. But if they keep going along this route, why not just replace 1~2 parts in your PC and have a far more powerful system, rather than buying a new console every few years?CritialGaming said:
This could backfire next gen with launch sales not being as high. I don't regret buying my PS4 in the 3 months I've owned it (and got it for $300). But this may not suit well for those who brought the PS4 at launch. Even if there won't be 4k game exclusives. And rumors of the PS4k not being powerful enough to run todays games at native 4k with current AAA standards.
Nintendo already did something similar with the New 3DS, and does have New 3DS exclusives. Asides from NX developments. So this PS4k development is going to be an interesting if true. And I won't be surprised if MS isn't far behind making a similar counter move.

4k is overrated and at this point in time useless to most people. It doesn't seem like its even doing what the "New" 3DS is doing which has games that only work on it...like 3...but still. Plus this is not a new thing really, its just being presented different. 360 Elite, PS2 Slim, and like 3 different versions of the PS3. None of them were marketed as a .5 though.
No one should be offended by this, and few people seem to. Mostly its people worrying people will be offended. (Theres ALWAYS -someone- offended anyways)

That's exactly it, and it's never been easier to hook a PC up to your tv to get the media center experience.Corey Schaff said:
I dont really see whats so special. Sony have pretty much done this with all of their consoles at one point with their "Slim" consoles. Even if their focus was a smaller size, they're always added hardware better than the previous. The PS3 Slim had better hardware than the original PS3.
In fact Sony did it twice with the PS3 because they released the Super Slim later. So really, this PS4K is just this gens Slim model.

I got mine back in July of 2015 for the same price. I see no need for upgrading since it looks more like it's going to be mainly for the VR headset, and I don't have a 4K TV anyway.-Jak- said:
Yea I don't have a 4k tv either. And the distance needed to sit from the tv to notice a difference. Is greater than my current setup in my bedroom.CoCage said:
My room is actually quite spacious too.
I still like it. I keep a PS3 on a 3d TV for this purpose. Movies on it are fun too. Not a must but, the world is a richer place with more rather than less toys.Hair Jordan said:
Course I'll never be able to afford VR. Grr.
Er, middle model was the best. The final model ran hot and noisy. Mid model: wish I bought 2. And a couple of 1 TB drives for them.Gekidami said:
There is now a 4K disc player. Very hard to buy (like a Ps3 and 4 were at first). Do you know if the PS4.5 will have this player in it? Thanks.MatParker116 said:
