A shorter Life Cycle is a bad thing. If MS launches the Scorpio is a new generation it kills it instantly, the 40M+ PS4 users (60M+ maybe by the time Scorpio launches) won't transition, the 20M+ Xbox owners (25-30M+ by the time the Scorpio launches maybe) will feel cheated as fck and most won't transition, 3rd party developers won't just ignore the massive PS4 + XOne userbase to develop for Scorpio exclusively. Sony doesn't need to plant anything and MS isn't insane.

It won't shorten PS4s life so does it mean they'll be sold simultaneously? Does it mean PS4 will have it's games while Neo has it's own games and PS4s? Maybe I don't understand what PS Neo really is?

The Neo will be a more powerfulll PS4, there will be no exclusive games for it, every NEo game will also run on PS4, the only difference is the graphics on the Neo version will be better (wich most likely means Neo will run games at 4k resolution). Think about a budget PC x a top tier PC runing the same game, both machines run it, the owner of each one can have his fun, but the one with the high end PC runs the game smoother/better and at a higher resolution.

So what Sony means is that even if you don't buy a Neo you'll get new PS4 games until the generation is over. I just thought they were talking about the PS4 which imo will be phased out but those who bought a PS4 will continue to recieve new games.

Also, don't want to derail this but isn't that what the scoprio also does? Just a beefier Xbox One that'll play the same games as the One and S? I didn't see any articles stating Scorpio is a new generation. So it's a mid gen just like Neo is supposed to be, but I could be wrong.
