It really doesn't seem like it's that much smaller to me, at all. I think rather than being a "slim" this is just a revised model of the ps4 with much lower manufacturing costs, and thus a lower price point.

I believe we will see this ps4 launch for $299, and I don't think it will be marketed as a "slim", I also believe the original ps4 model will be discontinued and replaced by this.

 

I mean the packaging has no mention of "slim" anywhere, so I think it's safe to assume this is not a slim version.

Slim models never actually have "slim" on the packaging I don't think. They're just an update of the console.

I think it might be cheaper than $299 though. Even if it's just $279.

here's why.

PS4 500GB, $299

PS4 1TB, $349

PS4.5 1TB(?), $399?

That seems too close to me. I should also point out that I think the 4.5 won't cost more than $399 and I think it has to come with a larger HDD to add more value to the package.

I think you have the wrong impression of the Neo. That will be a premium product like the Xperia Z phones and TV's, or Sony's ES "Elevated Standards" devices. Neo will be $500 minimum, but more likely a $600 unit.

Neo and Scorpio are lokking to usher in the new era of Home computing. Consoles are going to replace the traditional PC tower in the mass consumer market. Thanks to this, we are going to have consoles that come in a standard, performance, and performance plus type of teiring system. This is going to be a huge boon to the industry.

For now, this looks like a great $250 entry tier PS4 model, that will replace the current OG PS4. I think this will pay off huge for Sony and is a result of Neo coming this year as well. This is part two, of two very similar paths for Sony and Microsoft. We are seeing the super cheap PS4 and Neo this year, where MS is doing a stylish re-release of XBO this year with a more powerful Scorpio next year. Both stratagies will be massively successful.
