The mid cycle 360 didn't get better fps and resolution though

"The console market is pretty much one of the few markets that does this. "
When? Sony want to start this and now suddenly that's how the console market works?
"Instead of letting the thing rot for 8 years upgrade it. Those who want it the upgraded console can buy it. "
Except that's exactly how the last 7 generations of gaming were like! What the fudge are you on about? You are describing PC gaming, no...
You mean the business model they have followed for years and their consumers not only are aware but expect? Please don't pretend that this is okay just because other industries do it. If we were told at the start of the generation that 2.5 years in this would happen then I'm sure plenty would have rather waited and some might not have bothered at all.
So what works for tablets and phones should be implemented on consoles huh? Cool, I hope the next step is $0.99 games all around and F2P only. It works for mobile right? Please don't be stupid for the sake of defending Sony. Just because a business model works for one industry does not mean it should be adopted by every industry.
What kinda fool is happy to have their consumer power diminished like this? How about a new and upgraded console every 9 months then? Let's not ju...
Are you seriously asking me which fans with a straight face? Read the comments! Look at the agree vs disagrees! Come on man! It would be one thing if nobody was in favour of this and I was speaking randomly but take a look around at your fellow Sony fans defending this and coming up with retarded comparisons like equating this to the Elite controller...I mean come on.
People buy phones KNOWING there'll be a better version next year. Gamers buy consoles with the assumption that for at least 5 years they'll have the current and best performing model. I certainly wouldn't buy a console knowing that there's a better version of it coming soon.
Also, just because something works for one industry doesn't mean all industries should adopt it. Would you like to have shovelware and free to play titles be the main games on your P...
Jealously of what? Suddenly having the lesser version of a console with no fore warning? Oh yeah I'm crazy jealous.
No, I'm worried that you and your fellow fanboys are making it OK by defending this blindly and are paving the way for consoles to be upgraded every 2 years. I don't want consoles to be like smart phones or PC gaming.
Firstly, I was against always online Xbox One and I was ready to jump ship before they went back on it. Secondly, there was a huge backlash from other Xbox gamers as well, which is why they backtraced. Lastly, did you just compare a new console with better specs and graphical capabilities 2.5 years into a cycle to a controller?
Please tell me somewhere in the back of your head the voice of sanity is screaming out against all this nonsense you are willing to spew in the defense and l...
All this innovation at the cost of simplicity. I liked the previous console generation model better.
I really hope they don't. Sony loyalists may be the Apple fans of the console industry but some of us are not into agreeing with everything console makers push on to us. I was ready to buy a PS4 back when MS wanted the One to be always online and hinder game sharing/selling but I'm beginning to doubt that the lesser evil won out in the end.
I do not want the future of gaming to be new consoles every 3 years, that's just ridiculous. Great for those who love being taken ad...
I've been waiting for so long! I already have it installed from a friend's disc. Such an awesome feature which I think gets overlooked.
Being able to download digital games from discs is the bees knees in my opinion.
We got it. It'll be an AAA game. Thanks. No need to plaster it on every article. It's starting to sound disingenuous
I thought folks here said that most of them were placed in other Sony studios.
Great news, now that can make pretty racing games with awesome game play.
They have to preempt the inevitable criticism from those trying to garner hits by reviewing it like a full game.
Thinking ahead for ps+ 2017 and beyond. Very prudent of them.
No, not console gamers. Playstation gamers. They were up in arms when Phil Spencer suggested upgradeable consoles last month but now they are defending the idea of an upgraded console altogether because Lord Sony is involved.
So it's come to this? You've been getting scraps for months so when they finally toss you a chunk of garbage you rejoice. Well played Sony, well played.
Woah!
Five free games this month on Xbox One. And great games at that.
