I guess a 5.5tf/$500 Neo does pique my interest more than a 4.2tf/$400 one, especially if it removes that cpu bottleneck and could genuinely double frame rates and such. Just wonder how developers would feel about all these models.

They should 100% go with the $500 model, the price of consoles will go down but this NEO will stay will us for 2-3 years until PS5. It's better if it's powerful.

What the hell do I care about the FLOPS in that thing. Just show me if the games look any better.

Wait, its rumored to have a power brick! Oh no... They should go with the 399 model. $500 for any mid gen upgrade is too much I feel. The 399 model already boasts greater TFs than the One S doesn't it? That alone should be enough to hold Sony over, unless that is, Neo is meant to be more than just a short term hardware revision. Be smart Sony, you already have a lead, keep it.

Now that Microsoft has shown their cards, I think that Sony is in a comfortable position to do whatever they want. Scorpio isn't launching anytime soon, so Sony can launch the Neo at $499 without having a competitor or a price disadvantage, by the time Scorpio launches (most likely at $499), Sony would be able to drop the price to $449 or even $399 should they please to; also, if they launch at $499 they would be able to keep the current PS4's price at $349 a little longer. If they launch the $399 Neo, they could keep it at that price well after the Scorpio comes out and still have a price advantage, but they would have to immediately drop the price on the regular PS4 to $299. I personally would prefer a $499 Neo with a performance closer to the Scorpio, I also think that would be the smartest business decision for Sony.

399$ solution seems much better to me.

The one that runs No Man's Sky @ 60 fps with VR support.

Probably the expensive one.

Might as well go with the more powerful one

Xbox one removes their power brick, while the ps4 adds one.

Yeah pretty funny.

Don't know which I prefer. I guess if I was going to upgrade, I'd want as much bang as possible for the buck. So I guess the $500 one.

Yea but the XB1S is still in-line with similar power to the current PS4 in which XB1/XB1S shouldn't need to have a power brick to begin with.  This is talks about a power bar for a more powerful system.  Just saying you're not really comparing apples to apples (unless the XB1 Scorpio comes out without a power brick).  And for all we know the power brick for the PS4 Neo could be a small one like they've used for the PS2 slim or handhelds.

I'd probably go with the higher end as well.  $499 is decent price.  If it was $599 then we're looking closely as it was PS3 launch all over again xD

$499, allow 60fps/1080p as a standard to become a reality on consoles.

Although the asking price is very high, I doubt it will stay that way for very long. Anyone care to explain why a new CPU would cost $99?
