Launching new hardware mid-cycle simply divides your player base, so developers didn't want to write games for the small number of people that had bought the new hardware and it inevitably failed - Sega's 32X and Mega-CD addons being the best examples. Traditionally developing a new console was expensive and risky, early hardware sold at a loss and the way to make the big bucks was keep the hardware standard running for as long as possible, with games consoles the pot of gold really is at the end of the rainbow.

It's an intriguing story and one that a few years ago would have been laughed off as obvious nonsense, but things are changing in the world of consoles.

Kotaku says that vague details or this 'exploratory' hardware have come from multiple sources. it goes on to say that the PS4.5 would include an upgraded GPU to support 4K resolutions in games and superior PlayStation VR experiences. The developer talks of a new version of the popular console with 'increased graphical power and games running at 4K resolution'.
