A revision would be nice, but from what I know of Japan's tastes in this regard, reduced size and power draw would be the way to go. Basically a PS4 Slim+ or something. Problem is, I don't know if that's viable. The Slim was achieved thanks to a die shrink, moving from the older 28nm fabrication process to the newer 16nm. So the question is, can a smaller Slim and Pro be made without another die shrink? If not, then that's a problem since iirc, 16nm is about the best there is and the cutting edge 7nm process is still a ways off from being available at the necessary pricepoint.
So I agree with Megiddo, a price cut is the better option for the here and now.
