Re: OP. So long as it doesn't become an effective forced replacement/upgrade, it doesn't effect any existing PS4 owners other than to take a little luster off their "best performing console on the market" perception.

If any owners have an issue with that, I can only offer the advice of don't.

Manufacturers can and will update their products, and as long as said updates don't make existing products in use obsolete by hamstringing performance on new software, that issue is entirely related to an individual preoccupation of having what's newest.

While I probably won't be buying one on launch, when I switch to a 4K display, it will be accompanied by a Neo.

My original PS4 will continue to see use until it starts to malfunction. If it doesn't, then it's a secondary console for media playback and whatever games are already installed on it.
