Multiple developers have indicated that an upgraded PlayStation 5 console is on track for release before the end of this year. The new hardware could be one...
That’s what you put in the next console generation, or your PC, not a console that was already released. That’s not how consoles work.
The whole point of a console Vs just building a PC is to have a homogenous ecosystem for developers to ensure that everybody has the exact same experience, because everyone has the exact same device with the same CPU, GPU, etc, across that whole generation (also allowing developers to hone their skill on that hardware over the years to get more out of it).
If you’re going to take that core benefit away, why not just build a PC at that point…
Why not? The ps5 is good at pretending to do 4k, but is very much on the anemic side of graphics power for 4k gaming. Why wouldn’t people want a performance bump if it’s available and they can afford to upgrade?
(It would never cross my mind that backwards compatibility would be seen as a bad point… Or at least that is what I am afraid Sony starts to believe lol).
Honestly, I would get a Steam Deck first, and that wasn’t my line of thinking back then… But guess which or the two units are sold in Mexico ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I still don’t see why this console makes any sense.
Do you understand why new graphics cards make sense? Or why a new CPU makes sense?

For what games?

I feel like social media just loves to jump on the hate bandwagon, fortunately the real world is nothing like this.
It makes sense if you don’t have a PS4.

I’m guessing the CPU isn’t going to get a big uplift if the PS4 Pro is anything to go by.
