New PS4 Delivers "Ultra-High Definition Resolution Graphics," Report Says

This action of releasing this high-end console was deliberately executed to make people repurchase their product. Why couldn't they have done this with the original unit, make it a high-end product at the start? Playing the same game already purchased for the original console on the new one is just Sony's way of trying to soften the blow and not divide the market further.

This is a smart move. Last generation lasted WAY too long. And last generation consoles were actually powerful when the launched. These consoles were way behind current technology when they launched so incremental upgrades are good. X86 is scalable so they can develop for both versions of PS4 at the same time with no extra resources. It's just like PC. They don't build a version of the game for each graphics card available.

It would be nice if they offered an add-on for existing users like the Razer Core. I can get behind that

dont know the issue, so upgraded after 5 years? depending on the price its still cheaper than high end PC cards that run the Oculus and Rift

I don't get the hate, if it's fully backwards compatible then it's no problem. I personally think 3-5 year is a nice renewal time. This is almost like how it use to be in the good old days.

I'm all for a refresh of the current consoles, it seems like both Microsoft and Sony realize they made a mistake by not making the current console much more powerful than the previous generation. However, if Sony and Microsoft are seeing this as a money grab opportunity to refresh their consoles every year, I think that's going to be a mistake as it will fragment the console community and defeat the purpose of consoles. I sincerely hope this is not the case.

Is not possible that this is just a ps4 that has the additional procesding unit that comes bundled with PS VR already built into the console itself (rather then needing the additional unit that the PS VR has).

It may not be such a bad idea if it also serves as a 4k Blue Ray player.

ITS NOT "MAY BE INFERIOR" IT IS INFERIOR TO THE OCULUS RIFT! VR IS A GIMMICK ANYHOW.

I will be all in if if also functions as a UHD disc player too.

We will see,if this will be really as good as some guys are saying!!,if the information of this article is true, it is what i use to call "Sony kidding with our money,or costumer money indeed".PS4 was launched in 2013 and Sony wants to launch the PS4.5 or whatever probably in the third trimester of 2017.The major part of PS4 games in this moment are running at 1080p/30fps,some games are running at 1080p/60fps with great quality and in general very fluid,but in several games in certain moments we can perfectly see some frames drops.This is not happens because Sony wants,this happens because the PS4 Hardware limitations.Sony says that PS4.5 will be able to run every game at 1080p/60fps and some features like movies at 4k/20or30fps,ok it is normal,this console will have better graphics,better dynamics and even better improvements but it worth's the money?..do you think that in 3 years and half, Sony has the ability to build a system much better than PS4?Do not get me wrong,i love Sony and love PS4,is a magnificent console which i love to play,however and i hope to be wrong,this new console probably will be trash!!!...and for Sony my friends,this is will be "easy money"..:D

Damn......I've always been MS, but this definitely tempts me.

"It's also claimed in the WSJ report that Sony's ambition with the new system is "to capture gamers willing to pay for a richer gaming environment, including a high-end virtual-reality experience."

For Gamers willing to pay ... I'm willing to pay .. judging by some of the comments on here though it seems people still want things for nothing !!

time to sell my current dust-eater PS4 then… will buy the new one later this year..

So.. price?
