Great topic.

I think MS did very well with the Xbox One Slim in that it is very good for the consumer. It looks better, is much smaller, has HDR and 4k video playback at a very good price. However I think Sony's strategy, whilst less favorable to the consumer, will work out better in that the PS4 Slim won't cannibalize sales of the potentially more lucractive PS4 NEO as none of the supposed Neo features(other than essentially playing PS4 games and 1080P blu ray) are found in the PS4Slim.

In this sense, it's "you want a 4K blu ray PS4, you have to buy a Neo". Where casual gamers will likely not care for such a feature and just want the market leader to be as cheap as possible. I personally would have preferred a 4K enabled PS4 Slim but we shall see what the Neo ends up looking like. If they end up getting those specs into the PS4 Slim(doubtful) then it won't matter.
