Gaming Iterative consoles? Are you in or out? (Ps4K, Xbone+)

Do you appreciate that the console gaming market is shifting to being upgradable/iterative?

    I don't know how many of you have heard but there's news going around about upgraded versions of Ps4s and Xbones coming out. Which would mean, no longer would consoles just be console generations; within the generations there'll be upgrades in between, just like PC gaming. Are you widdit? I ain't, f--- that s---.

    it's not set in stone yet, so this thread is kind of a "what if"

    I'd be fine with this if this came to be. The only caveat would be the price and whether or not your older console would knock off a considerable amount of money towards the upgraded version.

    h--- no. im not even wanting Oculus Rift or PSVR. ill be basically set with Dark Souls 3, FFXV, Persona 5, and Star Ocean. then ill be basically done using consoles for gaming. just keep em as movie players.

    reason being, i barely have time to game as it is, an hour or two a night if that. So gaming is really not worth it for me. im not going to buy a new console. ill be happy with those games for a long while. In the future who knows, but right now gaming doesnt have much room in my life.

    If I have to upgrade, I'll just game on PC. I like that the console gives you 5-8 years without upgrading.

    If consoles are going to go the upgrade route then they should be made to easily swap out the internals NOT buy a whole new machine.
