PlayStation 4.5

Well that was fast. After rumours started circulating earlier this week about an event in New York City, Sony has gone and confirmed a PlayStation Meeting next month.

The story of the better-equipped and more-powerful upgrade to the original PlayStation 4 has been a fabled one. While what initially began as rumors have since been officially confirmed by Sony’s Andrew House prior to E3, the question of “When?” has loomed ever since.

You’re well aware of the story by now, of a more capable and better equipped PlayStation 4 console, that has been referred to as the PlayStation 4.5 or PlayStation 4K. Just a mere three days before their press conference at the 22nd E3 expo could kick-off, Sony has stepped in to comment on the rumors.

Over the past month there have been whispers of a more powerful and better equipped upgrade to the PlayStation 4, commonly referred to as the PlayStation 4.5 or PlayStation 4K. Keeping up the momentum of the first two reports, yet another story has emerged, and the refreshed console may offer a little more promise than originally assumed.

Hold on to your butts. Hot on the tail of an earlier report on the rumoured “PlayStation 4.5” (or the more succinct “PS4K”), another story has emerged, potentially shedding light on new details of the machine that could break the traditional console cycle.

You’ve heard the whispers by now, whispers of a more powerful and better equipped PlayStation 4 machine. Intended to handle higher-end gaming experiences and to serve as a better launchpad for Sony’s VR peripheral – the rumored “PlayStation 4.5” is just that machine, and it just might be closer than we all think.
