Microsoft in unique position to disrupt Sony's console reign

We don't know what this means.  

Starting in October, every PS4 game is required to ship with both a “Base Mode” which will run on the currently available PS4 and a “NEO Mode” for use on the new console.

But the only requirements we know for this are:

-Games must be at least 1080p

-Games must run at least as well as the base version.  

Neo mode means 'better'. Devs can't just call it Neo mode and then offer the PS4 version. This is why Sony are mandating it. It might just be better AA, a slightly higher resolution, better framerates (or steadier) or more post processing effects, but it HAS to have a Neo mode and it has to be better in some way. What the poster said won't be allowed.

Ah I see. I thought it was if they made a Neo mode then it had to be at least 1080/30. But they could still release it as a base 900/30 and it still be playable on the Neo.
