PS4 Neo Could Be 5.5tf ($399 - $599)

I don't see the point in delaying the release by 6 months and increasing the cost by $100-$200. Firstly a $599 is a no go....remember the PS3. Sony will not go there again. The PS4 is currently RRP $349 and is due a price-cut, especially considering the XBox One S starting price is $299 now and comes with a 4K BR player.

If the original specs are in fact true and real, then they should just stick with the 4.2tf & upclocked Jaguar and release it at $399 max. I personally see no reason why we can't have a $299 1TB PS4 and a $399 2TB Neo. Actually, in an ideal world it would be $249 and $349.

If the Neo releases in November (which I expect), that gives it a whole 12 months on the market before the Scorpio. So the Neo should have a healthy head start on the market and of course it's fully compatible with the PS4 which will continue to sell loads.

Yes, again in an ideal world, for Sony, the Neo would be even faster than the Scorpio, but thats not going to happen this year.

Also, look at the compatibility of the consoles? The Scorpio HAS to be compatible with the One, although it's 4x as powerful. Multi-player games will have to run at the same framerate etc and this is where the One has been struggling. All in all, the One will hold back development on titles for the Scorpio, due to the compatibility. Whereas the PS4 has a much better chance to get a decent resolution and standard at 60fps so the Neo version can push for better visuals and effects. I wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing One titles being capped at 900p to try and guarantee 60fps....or they may even push down to 720p.
