Has any of Sony's next-generation consoles just been "spec-upgraded" versions of previous ones? What a weird comment.

I read it as a clarification that they were not writing about a PS4 Pro V2, but actually, truly the PS5.

> We’ve known for a while that Sony is working on its next-generation PlayStation console — call it the PlayStation 5 for lack of a better name

When you say it's next generation and deserving of the title PS5....whatever.

We're getting into nitpicking here, but what is the difference between a PS5 that is a spec-boosted upgrade of the PS4 and a PS5 that is fully backwards compatible with the PS4 yet still "next generation"? They're both AMD+AMD.
