By a few months I'm assuming you meant a few years.PS5 will probably be announced a few months after Scorpio releases...
Plus the domination of the PS4 allows Sony to try things like the Neo.

will never happen no matter how strong these consoles are

Isn't Neos specs only rumours anyway? I don't recall it written into the leaked documents or Sony stating anything official of the dev kits going out.
Stating it might be more powerful than a previous rumour doesn't mean much as no confirmation or hard evidence was ever received.
Pretty much the highest I could see it feasibly getting to without a major design change is a 2.4Ghz jaguar, ~250 Gb/s RAM bandwidth, and 5.1 Tflops GPU
There's nothing stopping ms from upping specs either.
If the CPU isn't different, will it truly matter?
Fixed for greater accuracy and I agree. 6TF for a close console environment in late 2017 is actually not impressive at all. Few of us have been saying this since the official spec reveal.

Exactly. And with how they revealed Scorpio at E3 with the "most powerful console ever" I don't think they are going to fail on that. If Sony is actually upping the specs and still releasing before MS I bet MS can do exactly the same.
Considering they started pushing the PS4 as the most powerful console ever made, it seems some priorities have changed.
Is Cerny involved on Neo?
I've accepted that we're getting a jaguar CPU at this point and a 50% increase over the standard PS4 would allow for a good improvement in LoD streaming.That would be VERY solid...other than the shitty CPU.
Colin Moriarty said as much back in May.
MS will almost certainly still have higher specs anyway.Wont this give ms time to boost there specs?
Why not keep the specs you have now and come out with the cheaper price.
Patrick and Austin both confirm in this Periscope its on the 7th and say outright they have multiple sources confirming it. The info was floating around for a while but they didn't publish because they wanted 100% confirmation which they now have. The French site just beat them to the punch
Edit wait you though it was launching September 7th? That's just the reveal
What rumours about September launch? Gameblog said September event, not launch.
That is just crazy rewriting of history. Price, power, first party and MS own goal with the DRM plan (which Sony took advantage of) were all factors.
Stronger CPU please. We'll see how it goes. I just want 60fps in all games that's all.
Also, not all Scorpio games will be at 4K. And if they are, they won't be running maxed.
Look at nvidia 1080 benchmarks and assume what the Scorpio will have to be packing.
Patrick was the one that initially detailed Neo.So basically, they just now happend to announce it just as the french site leaks it? And that means all their other rumors happen to be true? Forgive me if i dont find it credible
The most I see them doing is upping the clocks but that could lead to heating issues. Not sure how much it really matters when the XBO/PS4 are still being supported.
No, power is not the only thing that made the PS4 a success. It was a perfect storm of a well designed console, good pricing, smart marketing, and MS dropping the ball with the XBO reveal. Even if the XBO and PS4 were equal in performance, the PS4 would still likely come out top considering how badly MS damaged their good will built up with the 360.

I think Sony is going to keep the CPU in the same ballpark to make sure PS4 doesn't get screwed over.
I just hope that if the GPU gets bumped up devs stick with the suggested reconstruction and just up effects and IQ.

If that's the case then why not just release the next generation of Xbox? lol.Wont this give ms time to boost there specs?

Ok so Patrick and Austin were doing a Periscope discussing some Neo info and talking about the September 7th reveal. They both say they have heard internal conversation that Sony is looking at increasing the power in Neo.
LET IT BE CLEAR they are not outright saying this is happening but that it is being looked at. It is not confirmation Neo will be over 4.2 TF
https://www.periscope.tv/w/1MYxNzPpYWoxw
Conversation is around the 6:50 mark. Here is some of what they say
- Sony has looked at upping the power compared to original spec
- There was an internal worry that the Neo may look outdated compared to Scorpio next year
- How much they can adjust Neo before launch, is unknown
- Final dev kits will release around the September 7th reveal
Again this is just a conversation between two reliable guys in the industry, they aren't outright reporting that Neo will indeed see a power increase.
Edit - On a personal level, with no info on this my bet would be if they do go this route it may be a slight overclock and maybe some more RAM. This would give a modest increase in spec without having to drastically alter the design
Honestly that's sort of worrying. Bumping up specs a few months from release hopefully won't cause over heating problems

If I remember you correctly, you're being sarcastic right?
Not easy to tell these days. It's as crazy as before PS4/XB1 launch.

from the other thread
Nope, they haven't. The PS2 was hailed as a powerhouse by the same Sony (so was the first Playstation, but to a lesser degree), and performance has always been an important factor...one of many! Now that they have cornered the market successfully, it matters not what their competitors come up with, unless they bring about a new generation. An improved version will only matter to a few enthusiasts, possibly adopters of the old model who will look into abandoning it in favor of the new toy. Most potential buyers will be sensitive to price, and something tells me that a Vanilla PS4, sold for $249, or even a classic Xbox one, for that matter, will represent more attractive options by the time the Scorpio releases.
Awesome! That means MS will beef up Scorpio if that happens. Yay!
He's from giant bomb? And he's saying that Sony are going to up their try and up specs for a launch before the end of this year because they are scared of Scorpio? A unit that wont be out until late next year?
damn, Sony's first party really, really pushing for RAM. Pretty soon these consoles going to be packing 32GB of GGDR5X or HBM2
