4.2 or 5.5, either way Sony will sell more consoles than Microsoft.

They already have a mainstream PS4. Why would they make two mainstream consoles?

That's like saying it's idiotic for Ford to make the Ford GT, when they could just make another Focus because that sells to a wider audience. The PS4 already exists, the mainstream product is already out their, making the Neo mainstream completely invalidates the ps4. |
Im not really familiar with Cars so i can't really comment much on Ford.
The whole point of the PS4 Neo is to get people to upgrade from there PS4 they have now just like the Iphone 6S is to get people to upgrade. Sony knows that a $400 console will sell a lot better than a $600 look at the sales of the PS3 vs PS4 for an example.

The Neo are for those that want to upgrade and im pretty sure Sony would want people who don't have a PS4 to get a neo over the basic one they have now.

I think you have missed the point of the Neo. Listen to how Sony talk about it. It a high end version of the PS4 and will be sold along side the PS4. It isn't targeted at the mainstream.

Why would they? They lose any advantage with pricing. The PS4 is set to become $300 /$250 and cause a massive increase in sale. Moving to the Neo would just fuck this up.

This is how I see it.
Playstation 4 are for those who have yet to enter Playstation's ecosystem, while Neo are for the existing Playstation 4 owners looking for an upgrade.
$299 and $499 are entirely justifiable if you ask me.

Why would they it the money mainly comes from SW and someone upgradring will still be expending the same amount on SW? The upgrades they expect to see are from newcomers that want better graphics, on the upgrade that the used ps4 are bought and that the vanilla PS4 keep selling. this isn't a smartphone with most of the money being made already on the purchase of the HW.

Well, no, not really. If the point of the Neo is to stop the exodus of people leaving the console space and migrating to higher end options on PC then another low-spec console does nothing.
