Possible, but I doubt it. $500 is barely OK, but at $600, I don't think people are going to accept it right away. It's going to take a gradual rise to get up there, to get people used to paying more for console gaming. Depending on the old models' prices when the new models launch, even $500 might be stretching it.

Exactly my point. Its not like the new iterations comes in and they just comoletely stop making the old ones making the new ones the only option.  There will still be a $250-$300 PS4/XB1 and there will be a $500-$600 PS4/XB1. Those that want to play the smae games in 4K, tjose thst care enough to buy a 4k tv over a 1080p TV, will have the option to do just that with their consoles too. 

Its more of a you dont really have to but if you must there is this kinda thing.

I know what you meant, I just don't agree with the price point. I think even the high-end models are going to cost less initially. It'll take more than just one console cycle to get to the higher price point, I think. $500-$600 is a lot of money, and it's a huge difference to, say, $300. I don't think people will initially see it as being worth the extra cost, but the console companies still need to sell enough new models so they're not dead on arrival. Thus the prices need to be lower. Maybe the console cycle after Neo and Scorpio will have the price point you said, but I don't think Neo and Scorpio will.
