What if it bombs?
Doubt it. They will probably make the PS4K the standard model, and phase out the PS4 over time, if not kill it off outright like Nintendo tends to do with DS and 3DS models.
I really don't know what they're thinking with it. I don't believe the damage control that it's just a slim or it's just got an upgraded BR drive and HDMI 2.0.
They are either trying to sell televisions, accelerate the hardware cycle, or it is a reactionary move to something coming from Microsoft and/or Nintendo.
If it has any exclusive games that the original PS4 can't play, I hope it does fail. If consoles start to get this short of a life than I'm done with console gaming.
It will not bomb. There are a lot of dumb ppl in the world.

They became pc gamers tho
it this real? hilarious if so. just get a pc. its really not that hard to make it happen...
It's not gonna bomb unless they try to make it the standard. They need to treat it like the new 3DS and just start making games play like absolute ASS on the original to move units, but still give people the option to play the original.
People hate being forced to buy something new, but you can easily suggest they buy the new thing by making the old thing play like fermented ass.

As long as it's not like 800 bucks I don't think it won't
>>332543447
It's not yet announced dude
>people still think that it will be an actual upgrade
Its Sony's way of futureproofing their blueray format, you retards.
They will make the chipset smaller, add HDMI 2.0 support and a chip to help process UHD blurays.
Never ever listen to Kotaku.
It won't. They'll just make games exclusive to it.
it wont
sonyggers have no games to buy so they'll gladly jump on this chance to waste their money
>>332543447
its literally just a ps4 with a 4k output.
it won't improve FPS or performance like all the moron media is saying. It will upscale the 16:9 1080p image to 4k for 4k TVs, that is literally all.
people will fall for it and buy it when there is a bigger issue with the ps4, the lack of games releasing.

Thank you for the info insider
Related info from a meeting we had yesterday was waiting for it to be approved before posting.
Price is currently $399.99 they were discussing a better CPU which would raise the price to $499.99 we were guaranteed the price will be no higher than $499.99 (He mentioned the CPU upgrade quite a bit almost as if they haven't really decided on a final spec could be a pricing issue.) also there is currently no plan for any type of trade in program for current PS4 users but that could change.
They stated that the GPU is twice as powerful as standard PS4 and much faster. They did not say exactly how fast but that is was running at a higher clock speed while being much smaller than the original.
It will have a 4k blu ray player and will upscale games that are not natively 4k.
Also there was talk of some sort of VR lounge for the media player app which is supposed to be getting a substantial upgrade.
It was stated plainly and with no room for interpretation that there are developers that already have development kits for the PS4K and that they are making games that will directly target and take advantage of the higher specs of the PS4K. It was also stated that these games will in fact work for the PS4 but with considerable sacrifices made to performance.

Oh it will bomb. Goodnight Sony!
>>332544253
upgrade it to a shitty tier pc then, still better than ps4
>>332543447
Considering there are 30 million people out there with a PS4, they have just made it redundant.
Say 1 million people are those kind that HAVE to have the latest thing, maybe 2-3 that will cave in and buy one now.
The rest? are there going to be a sea of used PS4's on ebay now? where are the consoles going to go? are people really going to have 2 PS4's with one having literally no use, not even for bloodborne?
They need to release a standalone thing that upgrade the performance to that of the new unit.
>Not bundled with a VR headset.
>>332544358
It was also made very clear that current games would not be getting any type of performance upgrades by being played on the system and any benefits to older games would come via patch per game and per developer. When asked if this was going to happen the response was "Its a possibility but doubtful with the exception of a handful of games."
We were also given a list of games that will be available at launch that will directly take advantage of the PS4K where the differences are and I will quote him "Significant."
For the PSVR
Eve Valkyrie
Robinson
GT Sport
For the PS4K
Deep Down (Thought this was dead)
GOW4 (This was the exact abbreviation on the sheet I can only assume its god of war 4)
There were more games on the list but these are the ones that stood out to me.
That's all I can remember off the top of my head I'll see if I can get any more information.

>future proofing their Blu-ray format
Sony's optical media needs to be pushed out of the gaming industry. If there needs to be a physical format, the industry should go back to cartridges. Otherwise, if data is moving to the cloud and tied to accounts and I have to install the game anyway, might as well just make it digital and save me the trip to the store.
>yfw the game you've been waiting for is confirmed as a PS4K title and will run in buttery smooth 20 FPS on your PS4
>>332543824
This pretty much.
I got a PS4 early for Bloodborne but I was expecting to get a bunch of games over a long time.
I'm just gonna sell the damn thing and not buy a console again if it turns out I'm gonna be missing out on shit and getting the lazy shittier version products.
This is gonna kill devs putting their utmost effort on optimization.
>>332544479
Save us from all these dildo controls daddy chad.
If every game will be patched to 4k support, I don't care for spending another $400 just for ps4k.
>>332544601
>GTA V: Ultra HD remaster
Wait, people still believe in this meme?
>tfw there are sonyggers on this board RIGHT NOW who believe that games will run in 4K natively on this thing
>>332543951
No, see only sonygger pay twice for everything, like internet, consoles, etc...
>>332544101
The leaker who dropped Sony's entire E3 lineup last year says it DOES have significant fps/performances improvements.
>>332543607
>Finally saved up enough money for a PS4 after 3 years
>New one is coming out
>>332544789
If devs cared about optimizations you wouldn't be getting 30fps lagfests
>>332543824
Your first console was a 360, wasn't it? It's been four years. Gens 4, 5, and 6 only lasted five years.
>>332545228
poor people shouldn't play vidya desu
>>332545228
3 years? It took you 3 years to save up 350 dollars or whatever the fuck it costs? You could have just charged it and paid that off over time. That would have been simpler and faster.
>>332545259
daddy chad. why?
>>332543447
PC's struggle to run AAA games in 4K without masses of heat, noise and money. Who on earth thinks that Sony managed to get a device as compact as a PS4 to do this for $400?

That's not how refunding works. You actually get your money back. With PS4 it looks like you're getting only more mone to spend.
>>332545267
That's just them having their priorities backwards.
They always cared more about graphics fidelity than framerate.
If optimization wasn't a big thing on consoles games like uncharted 3 wouldn't even be possible on PS3 hardware.
>>332545474
The PS4 that is.

You missed the chance to own one of the 40 million beta PS4's anon.
You will now own the true PS4.

don't misrepresent me, strawfag, 60fps is the bare minimum. Just upgrade and stop playing strawman gymnastics with yourself and others.
