Why PS4 'Neo' is a natural evolution of the console cycle

It is not. Even if it sells well, the whole concept is stupid and anyone who supports this garbage is a fool. There is no small bump that justifies rebuying a slightly stronger version of the same hardware with no new software, no new features, and will probably be the new PS4 when the PS5 comes out. This is a horrible step in the wrong direction trying to milk the consumers into buying full priced consoles twice as much.

Sony or any console manufacture make 0% profit of the console unit sales themselves. 

Sony does it for the loyal fans who are ethusiasts on their console, just like with any hobby or product

Sonys made profit off the hardware for PS4 since almost day one. At launch, tear down estimates had the console pegged at $381 excluding any royalty or licensing fees but including logistics. I'm certain within the first year the console was sold at a profit.
