Extremely forward moving? In what way? Putting your customers on a 3 year purchasing cycle instead of 5-6? Creating more environmentally hazardous garbage faster for the landfill? Having to retool the factory, upgrading when you've only sold 40 million of the old sku worldwide and your no where near saturation? Your about to release psvr and sell even more or the OG sku but your going to create a confusing market for new customers?

Forward thinking is releasing a ps4k  for Christmas 2017, and saying ps4k can play ps4 games, and ps4 can play ps4k games but at reduced settings.

Ps4.5 neo if true as written, is a big big mistake.

Customers aren't on a 3 year purchasing cycle. That's the same bullshit reasoning that people criticize Apple for. This is NOT for current PS4 owners. It's not even remotely meant to be an upgrade. Why would any company waste money making a product that won't grow the installed base?

It's for future PS4 owners. You may be getting the shit end of the stick, but that's how technology works now. Be glad they're allowing you to even play PS4 games for another potentially 5 years on the system you bought at launch.

The market won't be confused. Get out of your bubble. The iPhone exists, and that upgrade model made Apple the single most powerful tech company in the world. Sony waited a year longer than they even needed to. Everyone and their mother understands what an incremental upgrade is. They live it with everything they own.

 I get it, I just think that iPhone users knew next year there would be a 5, then, 6, then 7. 

I've had my ps4 since launch but some customers just bought there's with no ps5 in site, and they are probably going to feel it the most. 

 When I say the market being confused, I'm seeing the PSVR driving a lot of new customers possibly more non gamers like during the wii years to the ps4. If there are two skus on the market at psvr launch and that affect psvr performance it could be an issue for new customers. I'm not saying I'm going to be confused, but I'm sure you've been down to your local Walmart and overheard a salesperson or some customer questions.

 Just remember sonys been going over the psvr manuals to reduce confusion about how to set it up. You and me might not be confused by two skus but to others, that's another story.
