Terrible idea and a complete slap in the face for every PS4 owner IMO, shouldn't have sold it with such shit specs if you can't deal with the fact it's so outdated already compared to PCs.
I don't think they should even release the NEO, it is only polishing a TURD..
They should hold out a year or two and release something that is graphically more capable, rather than using such out of date hardware..
Personally I fell cheated that my PS4, is being replaced by a slightly higher spec model which allows 4K output and very slightly improved visuals over what will surely become practically worthless now.
Erm..
I don't mind the upgrade.
The problem is consoles are so far behind the times now it is unreal.. The recently release Geforce 10 series can do well over 100FPS @1080p with graphical settings which would bring the consoles to a grind.
I hope Microsoft when they announce their new console it is an actual new console which will be able to produce PC high settings @60FPS..
But that would mean a crazy high retail price, which hardly anyone but the hardcore (maybe rich) would get.
I honestly don't mind an upgrade to my console if I have the option, which is what they're offering, as long as it's not affecting the original PS4s, which according to House it wouldn't. They'll be sitting side by side and people pick whichever suits them between entry PS4 or 'premium' (imo premium should pack in more specs for people who don't mind paying that much more for high end, but again God knows how much more can high end have and how hot will the console get which would affect the form factor and industry max power allowed for consoles).
Technology changes fast and I am more than happy to pay it to play 4k Games on my TV, which in turn makes my TV even better value.
The only real complaints I've seen that Sony are releasing this, are from people who've got (in most cases) super duper PCs (see: the whole of NeoGAF).
I'll never be a PC gamer for several genuine reasons - so the performance this will offer is a window into something I'll have never experienced before, whether that's with many more titles being 60fps, or the performance benefit the VR will get.
If I want to sell my PS4, it will have been worth every penny I originally spent on it for the entertainment it's given me ever since I bought it. Reinvesting that money will mean I can continue those experiences, whilst gaining new ones.
Whether you like it or not, there are plenty of people who it'll be a great fit for. As for releases getting closer and closer together - well, people buy iPhones every year, so a console every three years - with genuine performance increases and unique selling points (VR being one of them)... Bring it on.
Like I say, those who say "I'll get a PC instead" tend to be the ones who already have one, so it's not a relevant argument...
It's an upgrade of the PS4 that should allow for better graphics / 60fps gameplay (and also means the VR will perform a lot better), but it's not a huge enough leap to provide 4K gameplay (for anything other than digital downloads with simple graphics).Very stupid question.
I never heard about the NEO.
Is it a new console?
Personally I just feel abit cheated because the console manufacturers released such a TURD and are now trying to fix some of the issues by releasing a .5 version and screwing over people who bought the PS4 originally.

How is the PS4 a turd given how many people have it and how many hours of gameplay people have put into it (and it's also much better-selling than the Xbox One due to the fact that it's more powerful)?Again this.
They should do a trade in program so you get the new one for $50 or something.
So for you, in your situation - which isn't the norm, the vast majority of console owners don't have PCs capable of running games - it's only useful for exclusives.The Last of Us (remastered) excellent game.
Driveclub decent game.
Uncharted 4 ok game.
That's the best three games I've bought and played on my PS4 since I got it, think turd fits it fairly well! Multi platform games I play on PC.
Wait for specs, maybe it's just 1080p with higher fps and 4K for videos and pictures.Stupid question perhaps, but I assume one needs a 4K tv for this?
I have a high end 55 inch Samsung tv of a few years old that's not 4K.
Will i see a difference on my tv when using this new machine?

But try 2K or 4K video source on your FullHD TV you can see the difference, on games I don't know.
Keep your TV and wait
I feel kind of dumb for recently buing a TV and not having the 4K option... But I don't know, at the time there was hardly any 4K material around, and to buy a TV I'd mostly use for HD (like 95%) and having it upscale instead of playing a native resolution just seemed a bit strange.
Also, a full HD can surely display 4K at least, like a SD tv can display HD (looking a bit shite, admittedly).
I also just got a PS4, kinda (last November). Getting a new one isn't really on the list.
I will be going all in 4K by the time everyone alse has 16K.
