It's not just a case of money though. Neo's chip not only has to be affordable, but also be able to fit into a console chassis and not melt the damn thing. Powerful chips run hot; they need fans, heat sinks, room for air to circulate, all of which take up space.
I wouldn't be surprised to see a pattern emerge with future releases where Xbox One runs at 720p, Vanilla PS4 at 900p, and Neo/Scorpio at 1080p. Battlefield 1 might be the first such release if Neo does arrive this year.
