For some reason, I can't view the video, but judging from the image it looks like it's everything we've been hearing about the PS4K. "Forever" seems to be the official name if that's the case.

Yeah, I have no idea what the baked in PS+ could possibly mean. Though a lifetime sub would be awesome and pay for the thing itself. While I do think this is relatively unlikely, it would line up with Yoshida implying there would be no PS5.
@DerMeister Its basically just a guy reading off the image and then talking about what he thinks of it. Though it was how I found out about it so I thought I'd include it.
PS 'Forever' sounds a ridiculous name! No console lasts forever - even if upgradeable. It could also get confusing for developers as well as for gamers. What happens when Sony releases PS5 or even 6, assuming you upgrade will it still play PS4 games? I guess if the PS5 has 'backwards compatibility' it could. However I thought the 'Neo' would be limited' to PS4 only - not get any software/features etc that can't run on a PS4 so what's the point in an upgradeable PS4. Eventually there will come a time when the PS4 can no longer run games because of the limited hardware. Does that mean that if you upgrade to PS5 'type' specs, this console no longer becomes part of the PS4 generation and joins the PS5 generation instead?
Anyway, we get to see what Sony have in store for us in a few hours....

Why can't life be like gaming? Why can't I restart from an earlier checkpoint??
Feel free to add me but please send a message so I know where you know me from...

Yoshida implyed that he didn't know if there would be a PS5 because he wasn't certain about the way consoles could develop. I think there will be a 'next' generation Sony console. People were saying the Console market was dying but both the XB1 and PS4 have sold very well compared to their predecessors and Sony's PS4 has excelled in the market. If Sony opt to stick to the 'traditional' console cycle, we will see a PS5. If they opt to go down the route MS appear to be moving towards, a generation-less cycle where every 3-4 years, an upgraded console comes out - like upgrading a GPU and/or CPU in a PC that enables you to keep playing all your old games but has the power to play all the upcoming games too, I think Sony will still release a 'next' generation console but I don't think it will be called '5'. The number kind of dictates the generation but if they do move away from the 'generational cycle', numbering a console as they have done locks it into that generation. I can see MS just releasing games with 'Xbox' on the front and on the back something like 'Scorpio recommended or Minimum required - similar to PC gaming. I think this is why Yoshida said there might not be a 'PS5' as Sony are looking at the console market and deciding which route they want to proceed along...

Only being able to replace the hard drive, psgpu, and storage won't be enough to last much longer, let alone 'forever'. We're going to see the low end CPU start to bottleneck before anything else.. not to mention the bus speeds and i/o have a limit.
I'd rather completely replace a console ever 4 years then deal with upgrades (and I'm sure devs feel the same).
Also... this guy likes to make clickbait vids with very little to go on.
