I couldn't agree more. If the upgrade was to slim down the form factor or improve 4k media compatibility (UHD Bluray/HDMI 2.0/HDCP 2.2) I wouldn't be too bothered. The rumoured CPU & GPU upgrade bothers me enormously though. I'm irritated by the idea that I will have to pay the same price for games as PS4K users only to have various quality settings turned down or off.
Also though: PS4 game prices were already a bit high for my liking, and the degradation of PlayStation Plus has seen me start buying day one AAA releases on PC instead. (I'm concerned I'll unsubscribe in the near future resulting in my losing access to multiplayer in games for which I paid £50+; whereas on the PC games are cheaper and multiplayer is free).
All of the above concerns are coming together and making me question why I even need a PS4 any more.
