Kirk! Kirk! You’re back!

It’s quite simple, Xgimp: slim for the cheaper end of the market and Neo for the tech enthusiast. Although I will be honest, MS made it very simple with S and Shitpio: no games, so don’t bother.

Probably end up $249/279 and hoover up what will be the low-end market at that price.

I can see most gamers waiting and flocking to the PS4 Neo. If you already own a PS4 (even if you don’t) I don’t see any reason of getting the PS4 Slim over the PS4 Neo. The only reason would be price and not caring about PSVR or the extra power.

In reply to chaz. There is a couple of issues here. This isn't MS strategy, it's a rushed version. MS gave a year for S, Sony is giving a month. Basically makes this whole strategy completely odd in relation to MS strategy. This could and might cost Sony a lot of money in the future. Rising PSPlus cost shows they're expecting some sort of loss here.

No, Sony just announced a price raise to PSN sub, this means they could potentially be expecting losses and considering that only half of PS users seem to be buying PSPlus, this could also be to break even. With the hit they’ll be expecting over the course of the next few months. I for one think the slim is pointless. They should’ve packed all their strength behind Neo simply because their biggest threat is Scorpio next year. Another issue, these consoles are a month apart. That means that those interested in VR will wait for the Neo, those who have half a brain will wait for the Neo. Slim would be a waste of production costs even if it had UHD and 4K bluray because they could just pack that into the neo and have people spend more money on that. This, to me, looks like flip flopping.

In reply to Virzio. Sony is not competing with MS. They are already dominating the console space globally. Get a clue. The next time you post something stupid, put a LOL in there to let people know that you arent stupid.

In reply to Virzio. Who are you, the play by play announcer? Did you have anything intelligent to add to the conversation or are you just here to sulk like a 3rd grader?
