So Sony recently revealed the PS4 Pro, and while it does look neat, I have some concerns about the whole concept of it. Remember, one thing many console gamers love about console gaming is it's simplicity and consistency (Not having to upgrade them all the time, like you would commonly do with a smart phone). Do we really want to reward this type of marketing and turn consoles into something inconsistent? What if it gets worse next gen because we rewarded this gen? It's kind of like the New 3DS. It had one game that could only run on it. It was just one, but it was still alarming. If they do this AT ALL with PS4, it would hurt their business, and ultimately make console gaming less popular.
This move was probably mostly inspired from the obsession with FPS. Instead of saying "I hope this game has fun gameplay, a good story, good music, and is overall a good experience", a lot of people say something like "What's the FPS? Less than 60? NO!!!!". I always said constant complaining about frame rate would be bad for the industry, and it was. I wanted to be wrong, but I was right.
What are all of your thoughts on this? Let me know!
