Potential PS4.5 With Better CPU+GPU ?

Apparently there "Could" be a revised PS4 on the horizon with better internals according to Sony.

Take with a grain of salt but it would be interesting if this was true and if it would spur Microsoft into doing the same thing with the XB1 so hopefully it could actually achieve 1080P 60FPS

Consoles should be trying to run 1080p 60fps at the absolute minimum in this day and age.

Nintendo NX might shake things up but Nintendo probably wont go down the horsepower route

What are MS Sony and Nintendo gonna do when everyone has a 4K TV and demand games at native resolutions i wonder.

I think it was on an IGN daily fix video that Nintendo said their next console will be more powerful than current gen systems.

Not happening.

How do you know ? Do you work for Sony ?

I wouldn't rule it out, If there's money to be made a company will make it.

Unlikely, the PS4, while popular, isn't popular enough to resort to Apple tactics of slight improvements with a re-release. Most people who already own a PS4 would be upset at this and people who'd be in the market to buy one new would just buy the current one, since it's cheaper and does the job. Only Nintendo does this sort of BS, and even then they only do it with their handhelds. If Sony did it too... I'd probably give up all hope for console gaming (and hate Nintendo more for bringing Apple-like iteration BS to gaming).

Consoles don't even do 1440p yet and as far as I can tell, there aren't even any TVs at 1440p. The jump from 1080p to 4k is huge and even now consoles are pushed to their limits just going for 1080p 60. And anyway, how many people even have 4k screens to play on? I don't know a single person (in real life, not online) who has a 4k screen.

The PS4 is good right now, it doesn't need a firepower boost to save it like the WiiU needs. Though the NX is shaping up to at least be on par with it, if rumours are to be believed (even though it should outperform a console released 3 years prior).

Well most console games can't do 1080P, It's 900P upscaled with glorious cinematic 24FPS

I hope the next gen of consoles is much better, The current one is just poop.

Only if you only care about resolution.

Games look and play great on my TV from both my XB1 and PS4. That's all that matters to me. Shocking isn't it?

They look and play great if you know nothing else yes, Having played XB1 and PS4 games, The aliasing in a lot of places was extremely noticeable to me and hella ugly, Something higher resolution could fix and that's not even mentioning the lower texture resolutions, Shadow pop ins etc....

MS and Sony should have gone the custom route like they did with the 360 and PS3, Now they were power houses for their time.
