My big worry is that there will be new games coming out that will ONLY work on the PS 4.5 and I'll be forced to get a new system or be left behind :/
No, they've said that's out of the question both for Microsoft and Sony.
Yeh it is an interesting strategy and no doubt we'll be upgrading more often. What I do like however is that in theory we will never lose backwards compatibility
Hopefully it'll be a two console system. So they can say OK, here's PS 4.5 and your games work on this and the PS4. Then the next one comes along and the games will work on PS5 and PS4.5. And so on...
Yeh good idea, this would be for forward compatibility though right? I.e. New games would support 4.5 and 5 then 5 and 5.5 etc?
No reason the 4 games couldn't still work on 5.5 down the line if it is all X86
Or as Broadband speed increases they all go down the Nvidia shield route
We should/could find out next week.
Yeh not a big fan of the design. I wish they would confirm some spec details as well. Guess this isn't coming out until 2017 now.
If you believe what the press are saying, they're busy scrambling around in the background trying to find a way to compete with Scorpio.
It's looking like Microsoft have suckerpunched Sony on the spec front this time round.
