If that's the case, I think it should release the same price as the PS4, and be advertised as a PS4 slim with a slight performance boost. I don't think pricing it $100 - $200 more and then having to rely on excessive price cuts to make it the default model is the right way to go about it. It confuses customers and segregates the userbase whereas if it were advertised as a PS4 slim with a bit more power and was made the default model from day one that would make a very smooth transition.
Unless this is just a short-sighted move to get good profit margins off console sales at the risk of consumer trust and marketshare.
I have a hard time believing NEO will be cheaper to manufacture than vanilla PS4 on day one in the first place, but I also don't follow hardware specs and all of these technical details at all like you clearly do, so just for sake of argument, I'm going to assume what you said is mostly correct. But then again, I also wouldn't have believed that a gfx card more powerful than a Titan X would retail for $379 lol
Are you also saying that you don't really believe that NEO is making any kind of statement about where Sony or the industry as a whole was going, but rather was just making the natural, cheapest choice in reaction to the shakeup at production within AMD?
