If you're going to hedge your bets on E3 this year being full of PC and Neo footage at the Sony conference then prepare to be disappointed.
It's amazing what happens when you say anything remotely critical of Sony on GAF.
Haha, you just came back right? No reason to risk it just yet.
Fully agree.
The persecution complex is strong with this one.

Absolutely...I am happy if this means we see more games instead of an extended section on Neo...
I will ask my friend if he wants to buy a 299$ ps4 sku or a 450$ upgraded ps4 , and let him make up his mind.
Why are you even suggesting, they are not priced same.is it really that hard to understand?

You have not said anything critical, you made up worst case scenarios that simply don't exist tht are devoid of any logic, and got called out.

A bit disappointed that Neo won't be at E3 but ultimately not a big deal.
Yeah man, I'm sure all those Sony reveals are going to be shown on Vanilla PS4, makes a lot of sense.

Your rhetoric is getting out of hand. You need to back up your claims. You are making statements based on feelings and your own desires. When you provide evidence, the responses will change.

It's...not going to slow ps4 sales to people who already own ps4...huh? I'm sorry, you lost me. We're talking about how ps4 sales will be affected by the NEO right? Unless you mean to say it will deter potential ps4 owners to wait for the new one, in which case, I would argue again that Sony wants to sell these people NEOs to begin with, assuming it still comes out within the FY. I don't feel the cannabalising arguement works here because both products within the same group, and are iterations of each other. The end goal is to get a PlayStation (or an extra one) into someone's house; both products achieve that end, but having two products broadens the spectrum of consumers you can tap into.

This would make sense, if only the numbers backed it up. However Ps4 still selling like hotcakes. If anything Neo will keep the excitement going after the sales start peaking.

There were ps4 dev kits out with 4GB of memory as well, until devs came back to Sony and told them that MS had 8GB in the XB1, and that no next-gen system should have 4GB of memory. I believe it was IGN who just a few weeks ago posted an editorial article about this exact topic.

Uhh, yes they will?
I really didn't, I asked how this is good business for PS4 and no one gave me a logical response other than "NPD BRO"
Sorry I forgot to add /s at the end of my post lol.

So 2017 then?
Yeah I'm sure this is all GAF's fault here. It has nothing to do with your posts that make no sense.

i'm calling at reveal at psx
So if we didn't know about the Neo, if the PS4 was the only thing we had and had known, you'd think the same?
I think you guys are letting this soon-to-be upgrade downgrade what we already have. PS4 isn't an "improper" console. It's not a top of the line PC, but is also no slouch.

Hello guys, been lurking here for a while and finally got my account approved.
For my first post I'll just say it was beyond obvious Sony never intended to reveal the Neo at E3.
You reveal this kind of stuff closer to release date, just like they did with the PS3 slim.
Im assuming a late August/early September announcement and a late October/early November release.

What about, like...the games?
A million games have leaked already. That is his point.

?? The sales numbers simply do not backup what you are saying, period. What evidence do you have that PS4 sales are tanking? The Onus is on you to prove your point.

Games coming out on PS4... devs show work on PS4. Shocking.

That's also not how it worked. It has been said several times that the 8GB came about because the chips became available in time. If they hadn't come available, there would only be 4GB of ram. It is what it is
I have no idea why so many people were expecting to see it at E3. It would make absolutely no sense to unveil a new more powerful console only to then not release it for another minimum 4 months. Doing so would severely impact sales of the base unit in the meantime.
Consequently this even more of an issue for MS with Scorpio as the time from announce to release would be even longer if rumors are to be beleived. So while I fully expect to see MS unveil a slim SKU I seriously doubt they will be unveiling Scorpio at E3 either.

I'm sorry but this does not make any sense. People are hyped for a better console so they're gonna buy an older one?

This new "more powerful but 100% forward compatible" trend is interesting - back when the SNES came out, there were complaints that NES owners couldn't play the new games, and were forced to buy the new console if they wanted to keep playing new games. Now here we are like 25 years later, and finally those complaints are being answered! It's an interesting new business model for the console industry, it'll be fun to see how it turns out.

I am probably not going to upgrade so late into the life cycle. I doubt we'll see a repeat of the last generation in terms of length, and I doubt a marginal upgrade like this is going to set us back for another 4 years (I hope not). PC is evolving rapidly, we'll get gimped console software regardless. Honestly I expect a PS5 announcement in 2019. Which would be 2 years after the Neo.
Maybe if my old PS4 breaks, then I likely just get the best version available (was a good incentive to get a Ps3 Slim last time).

Well for one I wasn't even thinking of those and two I like how all "indie" games are one thing lol.
Alternate? Have you forgotten...
Fair enough, didn't know that.
That's not all of the games though.
Did you know Bishoptl has a Sony hat? There's even a picture. Damn Sony ponies, right?

With PSVR coming out in October, and E3 unveil was never going to happen. Not surprising.

Every human individual is different, some will want the more expensive powerful one, most of the mass market will go with the cheaper one, it's not hard.
Mate, he just announced it to the press today, what in the hell are you talking about?!?

What the hell is going on in this thread with the "scared of Scorpio" nonsense?
If they're not showing it, they're no showing it. If they're making changes to the system, they're making changes to the system. Some of you are embarrassing yourselves with this idiotic premature ejaculation console war crap.

There's still going to be a shit ton of high end pc footage (often with specific controllers plugged in for the respective console to fool people) like there is at every recent e3, both first and third party.
