There are so many ways Sony can go with the Neo... A wafer can only make so many chips. Going more powerful with the Neo doesmt actually mean the chip cost them more to make. or even that the console is going to be more expensive. Read (has to be more expensive). no doubt Sony will charge a premium for the Neo at first, but expect that to quickly come down. I see Sony most likely selling the Neo at $399. then come around the holiday when you probably won't see a single core PS4 anywhere, they will drop the Neo to $349 taking the current price of the PS4 and at the same time seeming like a price drop. I don't really see Sony supporting the core and Neo ps4 for the rest of the generation. or even for a year. |
Thats still a 100 dollars price difference(Taking reference here from the lowest official price that the PS4 had, that was last Black Friday).I mean, I agree with you that there is a chance that the basic model wont be shipped until the end of the generation, but only one year?No chance.Specially since that could implicate other problems, such as lower dedication on optimizing the basic model for any game version, since that version would be less used since, well, the basic PS4 model wouldnt sell at game stores anymore.
But we still need official confirmation on the Neo.And by that I mean if it is just a slim version or a beefed up PS4.That could make all the difference in this disscussion.
My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
