Team real wins this round.
I find the idea of a grown man probably jumping on a train with a lunchbox to snap some pictures of a console that might be fake quite entertaining (not saying it's stupid, DF actually doing this kind of fieldwork is pretty cool, hehe).

4K HRD is the game changer, WiiU should make a new revision with that feature too.
You are giving the general public which still overwhelmingly buys regular DVD's if they're among the few who buy physical copies of movies at all waaaay too much credit. By an overwhelming margin, people with 4K TV's are consuming 4K content via their TV's built-in smart apps like Netflix (don't need a separate box for that) and are generally not buying UHD Blu-rays when they're $25 and the regular Blu-ray is like $5-10 in the vast majority of cases.

Ummm, they're both game consoles/media devices with extremely similar software content libraries (barring exclusives).
I love the people who believe that the hardware/software performance differences is an easier sell in Walmart than "This one does 4K/HDR (terms people are being made familiar with daily) and that one doesn't."
BUT I'M IN THE BUBBLE, lol.
EDIT: Do we know if 3rd party titles will support HDR this Fall? I imagine if it's apart of the Neo requirements than they will (in some capacity).

The bottom and top of the console should be reversed in my opinion. Why would they do it like that?

It really is a funny image, I would like to know how it went down.
seems like no
Heat rises, thicker top makes it harder for heat to escape.
Yeah. I'm sure even MS knows that isn't happening at all. But it bodes well for Scorpio.

I can't see that they would, would they? Main selling point of NEO would be "plays 4k" media." Since they cannot really be so dumb as to advertise how GAMES run better on NEO than OG ps4 or slim, they really have no other selling point. Just my thought.

I don't see that happening. The Neo will most likely have the capability while the PS4 slim is marketed as a base model at a much lower price point.
I doubt the Xbox One will suddenly start to sell just because it supports 4k now and got a new case.
'This one is more powerful than this one.' - *points at PS4 Slim*
The above is more likely to actually happen, because it's still just as true as it is with the current PS4/XB1 models. Acting like 4KBR/HDR is this trump card that's swaying people is just hilarious to me.

Hmmm... It's growing on me. It giving me the PS2 slim redesign teas. Flat, thin almost like board, and mechanical buttons lol.

but don't forget multiplats will look better on the One S somehow!!
Yeah buy the less powerful system for playing games but with a richer multimedia suite, always a winner. If only MS tried this tack with the original Xboxone reveal we'd have a historical precedent we could apply.

I'm having "power of the cloud!" flashbacks.
But seriously, people saying Xbone S will win cause of UHD is like when people said PS3 would dominate cause of Blu-Ray. "Its the future!"
Remind me how that turned out?
Actually looks better live.
A midnight phonecall. "Richard, get on the first train to Manchester! No time for questions, we will tell you the details later!"
"I arrived; where do I go?"
"Ok, get a cab to this address. The neighbourhood is a bit dodgey, but you'll be fine. Ask the cabbie to wait outside; and let him call 112 if you haven't returned in 15 minutes"

And at the end of the day it will turn out, that this is the PS4 Neo. Not the PS4 Slim ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ

Missing the immense size reduction of ps2 slim though

No LED's on PS4 S. Power Consumption significantly reduced!
Immense Feature right there!

Oh, so the led isn't on the top side on the PS logo?
Everything possible to cut price has probably been done. Think of it like when Sony stopped putting the rotating PS logo on the PS3. Every little saving counts I guess!

I bought a 4K Samsung on sale during Prime day because my old tv was dieing on me. I wasn't sure there would be much 4K content out there but you would be surprised. Between Netflix, Amazon Video, and YouTube, there's a lot of stuff out there to watch. And it all looks amazing even though it's being streamed. I just recently watched Mad Max in 4K pff a UHD and it looked amazing. And the deals out there for these tvs are great right now. I honestly think this holiday will be a boom for 4K and for consumers I think Joe's the time to get on board.

- 'Hi, wich console is better?'
- 'PS4 is more powerful but XBOs is 4k/HDR compatible'
- 'I don't understand, what is HDR?'
- 'ffs leave me alone I was about to take my lunch break'
- 'Oh... sorry, I'll just take the PS4'
- 'Sure whatever, all XBO games are on PC anyway"
- 'What's a PC?'
- 'GTFO'

better change the question mark to an exclamation mark.
Not to mention that's pretty much the kind of answer the Wal*Mart clientele is expecting, saying "this one does 4K and HDR" pretty much guarantees you will have to explain what both of those things are.
Are there even people who go to a store, Wal*Mart or otherwise, to buy a console, WITHOUT knowing exactly which console they're buying? Even a kid's parent is going to get specific instructions like "I want a PS4" and not "I want one of the current gen consoles".
seems to be a LED left of the disctray / slot

I'd be down for a PS4 slim is the price is right.
But my lord, merely being in the presence of a PS4 turns the damn thing on. Mechanical buttons please.

"Game changer." *laughs* People are seriously over-estimating the value of those things to the general public.

I agree with this poster. Every time I go into Huppins, or on to Amazon the prices keep dropping. Jan next year will be the perfect point of entry. I bet you will be able to get a 65 inch Sammy HDR with Quantum dot technology for about a grand after the holidays.
The content is there. A ton? No. But Netflix, YT, Amazon Video have quite a bit already. With 4k capabilities coming to the console world, it's just going to make content providers more incentivised to push it out there. I, for one, welcome our 4k overlords.
. The bold is important. More and more people consume content from additional sources. TV is becoming a dinosaur. Plus, I've heard rumblings (disclaimer: anecdotal) about the NFL getting some 4K stuff and if that happens many, many people (Americans) would be on board. Sports is huge here.

HDR adds a shit ton of lag to existing 4k TVs. hopefully 2017 models can improve on this

While you're not serious, you're probably on to something. The Neo would have seen the chunk of the investment into a premium industrial design, and it's the "high-end" PS4 so it *has* to stand out from the cheaper model.
Think of it like how Nintendo kept 2DS around in America, alongside the N3DS XL.
The 2DS is the entry level device, but it's purposefully austere though unique in its own way (wedge design). But it's obvious where the bulk of Nintendo's industrial design efforts went to:
Here's some pics. Amazing device.

This looks like a travesty, just like the PS3 slim.
I despise that cheap grainy plastic look.
