Yes, but you also said that it's like the N3DS and the PS4k. The problem is, those are upgrades of current architecture. This isn't an upgrade. This is an all new console, 100% different. The Wii used the same architecture as the Game Cube, except it was a totally different console. Spec wise, it's not much different from the N3DS or DSi. The Neo PS4 is by far a bigger upgrade than the Wii was to the Game Cube. The only difference is that the Wii was actually a 8th gen console.
Going by hardware factor alone. There is no debates that this is a 9th gen console. I fail to see how any argument suggests otherwise. We just went from numbers, to the core technology itself. It's also looking to be a leap over the Wii U. It's 100% a different console and fits every definition of a next generation console.
It is extremely important to know that the architecture of the Neo PS4 is the same as the PS4, just more powerful. This is why the games are cross compatible. It's no surprise that developers cannot make exclusive games for the Neo PS4. Think of the PS4 to the Neo PS4 in likeness of low to high end settings on a PC. It's really no different.
