TL;DR

The Neo is a totally different architecture and it will require a patch for older games to work.

I think it depends as much on the development tools than it does the hardware, maybe more.  How close to "the metal" are PS4 games written?  Is there a layer of APIs that games access on the PS4 that could be redirected to new hardware on a new variant of the PS4?  Anyone want to weigh in?
