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.

Since when 400$ is the standard price for a normal PS4?The standard now is 350, but even then if you look hard enough, you can find it for around 300$ new, and thats not that hard at all.By the time Neo releases(Im assuming holidays here), the price of the normal PS4 will likely drop to 300, or at the very least it will be around that price for holidays.

And most people that are going to buy the Neo, are most likely the hardcore PS4 fans.My reasoning behind this is that, if a casual gamer want to play PS4 games, he will simply go for the cheapest version, since he will not care much about the latest graphics or that the games runs on 60 fps intead of 30.Plus when a core gamer,that already has a regular PS4 and is not a hardcore fan of PS, is given the choice betwenn of a brand new console, with a whole lot of new exclusives and potentially as powerful as Neo or more, or just a revision of one he already has, he will go for the NX.
