Kinda unexpected they're planning on selling them both side by side for the rest of the generation. That only raises more questions of why and what for.

Perhaps it's still an answer to the failed slim model. Can't increase profits with a cheap to produce slim, introduce an equally expensive to make improved version to sell at a premium. Make the original one look like a good deal, and reap the profits on the premium model.

Otherwise I've got nothing. Why potentially piss of your existing user base and developers while adding confusion for potential buyers. I doubt the NX or a better XBox is making Sony do this, they never had a problem having the weakest console before and U4 doesn't exactly look bad. Nor PSVR or 4K are a reason. A new hdmi port would be sufficient, heck the existing one can already do video in 4K just not at 60fps.

Guess the title should be, Sony confirms shooting themselves in the foot. Not that it matters, they're walking on air for now anyway.

How they are shooting themselfs in the foot if all they do is keeping up with the times? Mobile, macs and PC they all work like this now with different models
