November 2013, coming up for 3 years.
Always amuses me how some like to call 3 years 2 or 4 depending on their agenda...Call it what it is, 3 years.
Sadly I don't think the world really cares about NX. The mainstream seems to have forgotten about Nintendo. Nintendo would have had the opportunity to show Zelda off on the NC and really get the ball rolling while news outlets were all over it. The event will get coverage, but there's no telling how it'll all play out.
It's likely Sony already knew about Scorpio, and surmised the power difference of it potentially launching a year later. For context, MS pieced together the general performance the PS3 would have while working on the 360.
Sony might feel "OK" about the power difference, it might be a planned and acceptable trade-off for launching earlier without competition.[/QUOTE]
And at a more mass market friendly price.
If Nintendo brings the games the world will care.
Gen started in 2012.

This is great news! I prefer console reveals/technical info outside E3, like the PS4 reveal event.
This means they have a conference packed full of games.
This is what I've been saying since we got wind of psk / neo. Unlike Microsoft, I don't think Sony have endless iterative console future in mind. More like what you say - possible mid gen refreshes if the technology spikes are there to take advantage of.
not the games themselves. mario kart 8 sold 7.5 million copies and i heard splatoon breaking records for company or some shit like that.The Wii U had great games...still sold like crap.

me neither. this is depressing (for me).
Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself.
There is no adjustment there have always been two pills one blue and one red.
Wii U: November 2012
PlayStation 4: November 2013
Xbox One: November 2013

the former. i don't care when they announce it.Why? Because you don't like the idea of Neo or because you wanted to see it revealed at E3?
sure we can talk all the smack in the world about the wii u's hardware sales but at least it had pretty strong software sales for 1st party games.Yet the console it was still a massive failure. Just appealing to hardcore Nintendo fans is not enough.

This is the most telling post, Osiris hints that Sony has 2 designs, one of them has an even more enhanced CPU and is more expensive. Maybe it is more ZEN like.
If Sony are taking the red pill, then maybe they need a few more months in the oven. Personally, for 60 FPS gameplay, Sony need CPU and bandwidth...
Take your time Sony, there is no hurry.

.Meh. Not feeling this.
E3 is going to be lame. No one will talk about what we want to hear.
Skipping E3 is a big deal imo
Uncertainty is not a good thing. Come holiday season if people dont have concrete info on Neo then it might hurt sales of current ps4's. Maybe they'll reveal it before then. Who knows.
Ps4K is a vessel for that, yo.I wanna hear about video games
I want that RED pill. If you going to make a premium model then do it! $299 PS4 and$449 to $499 PS4K. House said PS4K is aimed at the hardcore so give us what we want.
He said the world will care if they bring the games. I simply provided proof that bringing the games is not enough.
oh I see. i wasn't commenting about whether or not nintendo was making the right moves or not this gen, i was just saying how despite wii u not selling as well as everyone wanted, at least the games still did.
I don't know why everyone is worried about the Neo?
The good lord $ONY will bless us with Knack 2 which will snatchT all our weaves

Thats fine. But the ps4 will still play the same games but they will look worse, etc.
What are you talking about? These consoles will play the same games, they aren't alienating anyone.
The console you bought 3 years ago wouldn't be any better if they didn't release an improved version.
If anything a half step like this prolongs the length of the current generation.
I think $499 is a lot even for the most hardcore. These are not PC users who are willing to shell out that much money every 4 years. Price needs to stay at $399 and below.
This makes no sense. Not knowing about an unrevealed product is the status quo. Has no impact on sales. Knowing about a hardware upgrade months in advance, on the other hand, is sure to delay/reduce sales in the short term. It makes sense for Sony (and MS) to wait until soon before the release of the new hardware to showcase it.Skipping E3 is a big deal imo

this.This is my big concern. If they're sticking with this iterative upgrade business model going forward, then why the hell would I not just stick to PC? Not having to worry about and deal with this stuff has always been a big reason I buy consoles.
I'm worried that developers will optimize games for Neo and then make sacrifices to get it to run on the base model, whereas without the Neo they would just be optimizing for the base PS4. In other words, I'm worried that the performance of games I buy in 2017 will suffer compared to an alternate reality in which the Neo didn't exist.
Also, I still feel burned by the New 3DS and how it has exclusive games. I know the Neo is supposed to be fully compatible, but if they get a lot of success with it and this iterative upgrade business model becomes the standard, I don't have much confidence in the compatibility thing holding true for future upgrades.
Idk, it's not the end of the world, it's just not at all a direction I want the industry to take. And FWIW (anecdotal, so probably not much), literally every person I've talked to in real life who's heard about these console upgrades has had a negative reaction to it.

Probably because the rumored Xbox one is way more powerful.
Well E3 hype lowered. Good that they let us know.
No way. I'm not sure exactly what Osiris means but maybe red pill is PS4 and blue pill is Neo?
There is little chance Sony have been sending out the dev kits they have for devs to work with (along with a do/don't rule book) and then turn around and say.....Sorry we're upgrading it and coming out later still instead. Devs would really love that extra-extra work!
