The Neo is a PS4, it will have all the PS4 games and won't have any game that's not on the PS4, so why separate the 2 skus when Sony itself doesn't?

The PS4 is starting with 40M as of now, probably over 50M by the end of the year, so there's 0 chance it will outsell it by definition :)

But if the rumors are to be believed, the Neo will be a bit different than the standard version, probably having a much higher price.Thats why i separated it into two SKUs.And yeah, it certainly wont beat the PS4, but seeing Neo numbers alone, it should beat it.

The 2 prices that have been talked about are 400$ (the most likely one) or 500$ (if Sony decided to upgrade further the CPU). Assuming 400$ is the price it pretty much stays within the same range as the current PS4 price. Now, again, considering it plays the same games without any special exclusive games it makes no sense to separate it as it's own product. No one separates the DS, DS lite, DS XL, etc when considering sales, right? And actually in those consoles you sometimes have exclusive games to newer systems.

In any case, sure, there is a higher opening in the market for new NX buyers simply from the fact no one has one, and by the time the Neo is out there will be around 50M PS4's sold. I will probably upgrade to the Neo myself, but sure I don't think i'm in the majority here.
