'm not expecting it per say, but I'm in the same boat with him. Simply casue i think its possible. And if its possible then sony will do it cause it will save them money.

As it stands, simply from improvements in RAM density over the last 2+ years the latest sku of the PS4 has a board thats already a Third smaller than it was when launched. So if sony can do what MS did with their APU then it means they can get that smaller and in turn also get the PSU smaller too. They can basically shave off more fat and thus release an even smaller PS4.

What all that means for them is that they can sell it at $299 and still make a decent profit on each box while selling the Neo at $399 with a much smaller profit or just breaking even for now. If they stand to gain even a $5 lower BOP making a PS4 slim, then be rest assured they will do it. Unless there is a proper reason why they cant. 

I think its fair, as long as the price is right. With this push to iterative consoles it makes eveeyone happy and allows the platform holders morr flexibility. 

I bought my PS4 for $400. So people like me obviously have no qualms spending that much for a console. There are some that don't want to spend more than $200-$300 for a console. Now they have that option.

The way I see it, if you want the best that console gaming can offer, then be willing to pay a slight premium. If you don't wanna do that, then be willing to settle for a little less performance since what you are getting is the budget version. 

If you care enough about perfrmance then put your money where your mouth is. If you don't, then there is something there for you too. 

I hope if the Neo comes out at 399$, that means they drop the price of the normal model down to 249-299$.

A 249$ price point should cause alot of people to finally jump on the bandwagon, and get one.

I can see Sony releasing a Slim at $299 without a game attached and having a 1TB HDD
The Neo would then be priced at $399 without a game.
The older FAT PS4 with game will be reduced to $329 - as the version without a game already is on Amazon.com

Mine is not. It's still working.

Wait...

No, just as i thought. I still can play games with it.

PS4 and X1 will still be able to play all the games that releases on Neo and Scorpio (bar perhaps some VR games), so you aren't losing nothing... do you prefere to be stuck on a place because of lack of option than to choose to? That is odd.

Who knows.....they have been slacking on this for a few years now.....sooooo hopefully this is the time!

I hsbe it on good authority that LOD remake is due to be released as a launvh title on the PS4Oracle.

For the uninformed of the matrix pecking order we hsve Morpheus, neo, Trinity, Smith, Oracle.....

3yr cycles, so thats just about a decade away. 

FINALLY!!! Some Solid information! You have just made history Intrinsic lol.

Sony already stated that mid-gen upgrades won't be a regular thing for them.
