Yeah, I can't help but begin to feel that sony is playing all this down to the T like an evil conniving mastermind. They just seem to be doing all the right things. Even the Neo, sony has practically figured out a way to make a console sku refresh and price it again at $400, while potentially being able to have a similar sku that can play the exact same games and they could price for as low as $199 if they wanted to. Let the kids and those that just want the games spend $20-$250, and those that wanna feel they have the best hardware that PS has to offer spend $200 more. |
Why would the NEO existing allow them to sell the PS4 vanilla at $199? The NEO wouldn't change production costs of the PS4 vanilla.
And if the report that Sony actually changed to 14nm due to change-ups with prodction at AMD are true, then the NEO will cost less than PS4 vanilla to produce, and was a reactionary move, not a planned one. I personally hope this is the case and would like to see NEO replace vanilla PS4 as the standard model (just like a slim would), while launching at the same price.
