Why not? The normal PS4 becomes the entry model, always $100 - $150 cheaper than the PS Neo for people who don't want to pay $300+ for a home console. |
It's one thing making multiple skus with different sized hardware. It's another thing making different skus with different Chips, boards, RAM, casing, PSU, I/0 connectors........etc.
it would be a manufacturing nightmare in a world where simplicity is always the key. It would probably cost Sony no more to make the Neo than it does them making the PS4 right now. So rather than stick with the PS4 as is and reduce its cost of production, the probably decided to increase power but remain at the current cost. Easy decision to make with how the PS4 is selling right now.
It basically will cost Sony more having tiw vastky different skus on the market than having one.
