Sony's approach is different. When the new model is released, they stop making updates to the old models. So you don't need to worry that they will break the old model's software. There have been a few exceptions that new features have been introduced on older models, but it is rare. That's ok for most people. The older firmware is stable and doesn't really "need" updates for performance. The updates are more for extra features that of course Sony wants an incentive for you to buy the new model. You will find many users on here who are very happy with their older Sony models because they work just fine and do what they want, and therefore they won't upgrade for several years.
