It's still a completely new console with supposedly multiple new game announcements.
Neo will be just updates on old news.
Good.
John, maybe you got hints about Nintendo's event as well, then?
Please, be before TGS, be before TGS...

PS4K is the name they should go with.
In terms of clicks I would imagine that a new Nintendo device and whatever games come with that would draw more attention from what is essentially an enhanced PS4.

Do core gaming websites even matter that much anymore?
I'm sure both Sony and Nintendo care more about activity on social media and Youtube.

Of course they do - they still get plenty of hits and are always being linked on here for example - they still have a part to play
Interesting logic, I mean, MS removed the Kinect and then it wasn't $100...
Also consider the PS4 is $350 so you're expecting Sony to release 2.5x the power for just $50 more.
For the 500gb, you think Sony will release a premium console with 500gb? it will be a min 1tb so the XBS is $350 and Sony still have the more powerful PS4 which will likely drop to $300.

Yup, Sony will add some extra here and there to justify a premium console. maybe 1TB SSHD, at $449, 2TB SSHD at $499.
I still dont get it. Ok they will get all the coverage when they announce the Neo before NX, but then when NX gets announced wouldnt they get all the coverage?

It's already been mentioned by a more reliable source as well. Do you really think, that the NX handheld hybrid would be more powerful than Neo? I'd be surprised, if it's going to be more powerful than the current systems.

The new model will be called PS4 Premium Edition and the OG model PS4 Peasant Edition.

PS4k is a good name, but it's a one and done name that's nowhere near as effective with future iterations like a hypothetical PS5k or PS6k.
It ideally needs to be a name that can carried over generations with just adding a number

It's not native, but it certainly can be better than 1080p with reasonable cost.
Things like AA with gaussian resolve can look really good in 4k, even if shading resolution is not higher than 1080p. (Which is pretty close to the maximum resolution of stable moving detail in 4k.)
It will be interesting to see all the different methods developers will implement, there is a lot to gain in terms of overall quality of the image.

Of course it can be better than 1080p. But the point here was to discuss whenever its native or not
@doemaaan: how dare you, that is outright sensible!? This kind of behavior does not fit in a games forum, delete your account now! Otherwise, I fear only either a "Shut up and take my money!" or a "This is the stupidest thing any console maker has ever done!" could start remediation process for you.

i think they should go the opposite direction and ship with a barebones HDD and hammer home the idea of the user being able to upgrade it themselves. it would keep the cost nice and low.
I would buy a 2 TB SKU of Neo if they introduced one. If there's only a 500 GB one, I'll just buy a 2 TB HDD and replace it.
I can see why Sony would rush the event and announce before Nintendo. Neo is just a simple upgrade to the PS4 while NX is something completely different. It's going to get much more media coverage because of that. Plus I bet Nintendo has a ton of game announcements as well, whereas I believe the Neo event will be more focused on its technical abilities. I could be wrong, of course.

Well no, it would be misleading since most of games won't be at 4K. You would expect from a machine with "4K" in it's name to have every games in 4K.
Maybe PS4+ or something like that but then it could make people think that you need a PS+ subscribtion to use it...
Honestly "PS4 Neo" wouldn't be that bad since Neo also means "new".
Exactly. It makes total sense. I've never really entertained any other possibility tbh. I would be pretty surprised if it's not PS4k.

PlayStation 4K seems most logical.

For all intents and purposes, the NX reveal and Neo reveal are not likely to be on the same footing at the end of it.
Sony will still hold a European event sometime this year, and there'll also be a TGS event. And then there'll also be PSX. Sony will be splitting its game announcements across 3 different events, whereas this Neo event is presumably largely going to show enhancements of games that are already announced, maybe 1-2 new stuff tops, but it's not likely to be some major PS Meeting style "boom new console boom 5 new game announcements" event.
On the other hand, with this being the official unveiling of NX, with a launch window of March, anything short of a new platform announcement with hardware reveal + a slate of launch/launch window game announcements is unbecoming.
NX will naturally be a far bigger event because Nintendo will centralise its focus, both HW and games, whereas this Neo event is seemingly HW-focused, whereas other events will talk games.

PS4K or PS4+
How is rendering in 4K with less power not more efficient?

With the rumored slim revision, and the Neo you could call them the PS4 Beauty and the PS4 Beast.

Hm, time to sell my PS4 before the inevitable price cut, I guess *sigh*.
I expect Neo to be ugly & made on the cheap side with sliding top loaded Blu-ray drive
