PS Now is that strong Playstation brand. By the time it replaces PS4, mark my words it will have thousands of games spanning from PS1-PS4, including PSP and PS Vita. The closest thing to a new home console you're gonna get from by that point is a streaming box for the two people who don't own a smart TV/NX/Xbox Windows Machine by that point.
Also, I'm gonna call it here right now. There if there is another NEO upgrade, it will come out in 2019 and it will be digital only in direct response to the titanic success of the NX. Then PS Now will replace PS4 in 2021, probably launching with a cheap PSTV again with no Vita innards this time.
But Sony will even the playing feild handily when PS Now eclipses the PS4. If you think the PS4 is a success, that's chump change compared to the gold they'll be swimming in once PS Now is out of it's not-a-beta beta that it's going to be in for the next 6 years. If they're smart, and they are, they'll sell controller phone cases bundled with the PSTV. The "dualshock mobile" for when you're streaming on your phone.
