No, they shouldn't.

And if this is somehow in reference to the Neo/Scorpio costing as much as $499/$599 respectively; then it should be noted that the circumstances surrounding them aren't only unique but also an industry first.

Technically and in every other way imaginable, the Neo/Scorpio are still just both the PS4/XB1.

Those cosoles will at the time the Neo/scorpio come around cost around under $299.

Under $299 is what it will cost to own a PS4/XB1. Games will be built primarily to run on those sub $300 consoles. The difference here is, there just happens to be premium (more expensive and more powerful) versions of the very same sub $300 consoles.

I strongly doubt that sony or MS expects to sell 20M consoles a year priced at $499/$599. Rather they want to sell 18-20M consoles priced at as under $299 as they can go then sell 1-4M consoles priced at $499/$599. All this isnt about even making more powerful hardware, its about retaining a userbase. Preventing situations where they have to hit the reset button every 5-7yrs.
