I don't even know what to think of this to be honest. All I know is that I want clarity on this thing. Something is definitely happening, but Sony come the fuck on and explain what the hell it is.

If you want a high end experience you have to pay. I am a pc gamer and I upgrade my video card every few years. Battlefield 4 was not running at 60fps max with my old card so I had to upgrade. The card was $750. That's almost two consoles.

I really hope its 499, they need to make sure that they seriously buff the CPU and the bandwidth and not just double the GPU. Maybe they will need GDDR5X as well.
If they gimp it, then if it cannot do 60 FPS because of a weak CPU then there is NO POINT.

Who is upgrading their PC every month? lol. You must buy some trash parts if you are, or you don't know how to build a good gaming PC. At your rate for upgrade rate, you can't even build a good type writer.
Can't wait for every game to be ported to vanilla PS4 like Shadow of Mordor PS360.

OMG that thought just really brought me down. Great example of what a lot of us are afraid of here.

But this is gonna be a disaster for those who can't, or refuse, to upgrade.

Yep. Not to mention development costs are already spiraling out of control as well, and we've got a receipt for disaster IMO. It will definitely be interesting to see how things play out that is for sure.

hmm, well.. i'm in if this guarantees a much better VR experience. i can't and won't miss out on that. never buying a 4K tv though.. absolutely zero interest.
btw does this mean The Last Guardian basically skipped two gens? lol.
not me, because i dislike playing on my PC no matter what. i'd rather buy a new console every year.

To people saying this makes no sense I don't get it. Well it very well might if / when both MS get on stage and announce new hardware as well as Nintendo at E3.
It would be insane not to. There are still millions of consumers to sell to. PS4 market is nowhere near saturated.

Making shitty generalization to drive your point isn't really a good way to have a conversation.

I think I will pass on this, I got too much PC shit to buy this year with a new vid card and either Oculus or Vive.

It starting to feel like the PS4 launch was a stop gap for 4K.

Joking aside, pretty much sums up the gen for me. With the insiders, the resolution atuff, the DLC, the patches, the underwhelming and overhyped games and now console upgrades. It seems creating more better games has taken a backseat for many. Probably the most disappointing gen for me as a gamer since 1989.

Sounds like you make bad buying decisions.
It's not spiting since all games will work across the sku's.
Let me elaborate. I'm not picking sides here. This can also screw Sony big time, because they are throwing new products @900$ overall into the market which may turn some people off. "VR sounds like a cool thing...but I'll need the new PS4K to get the best out of it"
But as it stands now, it's just a handful of Gaffers who say "let's see what Nintendo has to offer" and we have to work with experience from last/current gen when WiiU got slaughtered.

I'm eagerly awaiting his "I have four and a half PS4.5s" video.
This is GAF, which is extremely console based, stupid and false stereotypes about how PC Gaming works are the norm.

Give me a good trade in deal like trade in PS4 get 200 towards PS4K and I'll bite.

Hopefully NX portable is reasonably priced. Danganronpa is moving onto PC as well so at least I can still play it. Will probably keep PS4 just for what is already out.

If games run like crap on regular PS4, you are being forced to upgrade in some way
I dont think PSVR is really reactionary though. Palmer said that Sony were doing some work with VR before the Rift KS
Bingo. This is all about the TVs. Sony could stand to make a fortune in 4K adoption.
More TVs, mean more UHDs, mean more PS4Ks.
They are using the Playstation brand as they did to sell DVDs and Blu-rays in previous generations.
I'm amazed this is really happening. This will probably change console gaming as we know it forever. It's an interesting development and i'm happy to see this happen although i'm not sure if it will benefit console gamimg in the long term. I'll most probably buy day one if there is a considerable power difference.
However, I firmly believe that this Sony reacting to a possibly more powerful Xbox one coming in the short term future. There is no way Microsoft was going to sit out this generation without trying to do something about it.
Also, how come this is leaking so early and in such a big way?

theres tons of kids and others who will buy the pspoor too... like if I had a 10 year old kid I would for sure buy them that one.... who cares? people freak out about the funniest shit. if they drop ps4 to 299 or less it still represents great value for years ....
its same on pc, I tried to build one for 500 and it just wasn't worth it, 200-300 more was the way to go.... but you could do it for 500 and play some good games... just not on good graphics. this is the same deal. except for a console and console games are awesome too. having a base model and a plus model is the norm in all consumer electronics, I'm amazed it hasn't happened before.

Can't wait to see him buy 4K PS4Ks.
Sony started VR word back in 2011/12
You said "Got it" as pertaining to what I was saying. I know it's hard for you to keep up but make an effort.

Except it's not. OG PS4 will be priced down quicker and positioned as the mass market, low entry point option, while the $400-$500 box will cater to enthusiasts in the console space. This will ruffle very few panties in the grand scheme of things.

Yeah....this is risky for the user base, especially without some kind of upgrade/turn-in program.
IMO, console hardware isn't the same as a phone, expecting to have to upgrade a console every couple of years isn't going to provide for the same experience phones have. The vast majority of people aren't upgrading their computers every 2-3 years (though the market is probably skewed in that regard in that is more catered to to enthusiast users in the first place)
Personally don't think its going to end well, but it depends on how Sony manages to play the shift.
