Buy a PS3.

It is also an Xbox (the "X" of "NX" proves it) and a new Neo Geo console. It will play any Playstation, Xbox, Nintendo and Neo Geo game ever made... also any Windows 10 (X) and OS X compatible game. ;)

I just wait for PS4 NEO 2 because why should we not assume that in 3-4 years from now their will be a neo 2?

keeping my old PS4 until it breaks and then i will get a neo

I really don't see Sony selling the PS4 and PS4n together. Just makes zero sense. I see the PS4n to be what the PS4 slim would have been. just not a slim. Per say. The PS4n is just a PS4 with 4k output support. kinda like how 360 became a 360 with a dedicated HDMI output.

This theory will be confirmed if the Neo is announced at $350-$400. The PS4 will be phased out and then the Neo becomes $350. Probably dropped to $299 around when the NX is launched.

I have them all and would never trade in a PS4 to buy a full priced NEO. Concept is a waste.

Right now though I am all about the NX.

Why not? The normal PS4 becomes the entry model, always $100 - $150 cheaper than the PS Neo for people who don't want to pay $300+ for a home console.

It's one thing making multiple skus with different sized hardware. It's another thing making different skus with different Chips, boards, RAM, casing, PSU, I/0 connectors........etc. 

it would be a manufacturing nightmare in a world where simplicity is always the key. It would probably cost Sony no more to make the Neo than it does them making the PS4 right now. So rather than stick with the PS4 as is and reduce its cost of production, the probably decided to increase power but remain at the current cost. Easy decision to make with how the PS4 is selling right now. 

It basically will cost Sony more having tiw vastky different skus on the market than having one. 

I would likely still upgrade.

However, it's unlikely. Sony stands to make more money by having a premium model and an economy model in circulation at the same time.

I agree that the ps4 will likely be replaced to limit overhead. The Neo likely exists because of problems shrinking down the current design, requiring a switch to a different hardware process, ie finfet.

I doubt it will hit 299 by next March though. Why would Sony start losing money on the hardware now. Being more than comfortably ahead they can afford to stretch the generation somewhat by cooling down the sales pace. 14nm finfet process is still brand new, I very much doubt it will be possible to make a profit at 299 in less than a year. First Polaris GPUs are set to launch in June. Maybe the ps4 will need to co-exist for a while if they can't produce enough NEOs.
