EDIT 4: I've ran out of food, it's been hours since I've seen another agree. I don't think I'm going to survive til E3.

EDIT 5: This is the end, tell Mark Cerny [struggling grunting sounds] Knack sucked.

Saigon2898d ago (Edited 2898d ago )

I think that pricing scheme your proposing is too much...no one would buy it at that price range. Keep it at least at 400$ and you may grab the core gamer's that want it, like myself. Any higher and most will just wait.

Either way, it seems like there is finally confirmation since the article is quoting a very reliable source. This is going to be a very interesting summer to see what Sony and MS will offer regarding the enhancements for 4k.

CyrusLemont2898d ago

Sorry, I'm Australian so I was talking AUD. If it's $400 USD, it will probably be $600 AUD.

poppinslops2898d ago (Edited 2898d ago )

I'm also in Australia and there's no way it's going to be that cheap - it's going to be closer to $1000... they said it will be profitable from day 1, so (assuming the leaked specs were correct) it won't be any cheaper than $500USD - that said, the price will come down over time.

I doubt Microsoft will unveil Scorpio at E3... they'll probably wait until they KNOW what the Neo's specs are before they so much as confirm it's existence.

Eidolon2898d ago (Edited 2898d ago )

There still isn't confirmation on what the upgrade actually is. Stated that they will both be sold during the PS4 life cycle, so the latter will be more expensive I assume, at least a $100 difference.

Why can I never visit this website on my network?

JackVagina2898d ago

@poppinslops It might not be as expensive as people think. AMD recently announced the RX480(8GB) witch is extremely cheap at 199$, low power consumption and is supposedly able to rivial the GTX970/980 in terms of power witch are 400$+ cards.

Keep in mind if Sony buys directly from AMD and in bulk that 199$ price will be even cheaper. If only we knew what type of CPU was in it we could safely assume the price. but i expect it could hit at 399$ if it has a variant of the RX480 inside.

poppinslops2898d ago

@Jack: I did not know that... in that case, here's hoping - anything under $500USD is day 1 buy for me, assuming Bloodborne gets 'the treatment'.

ULTp0ltergeist2898d ago (Edited 2898d ago )

So Nintendo delayed NX announcement and now Sony has offset announcing Neo come E3, that sucks. However Microsoft is pretty low-key about all the Scorpio rumors, very interesting. Dammit 2 days!

Gazda2898d ago

its a day one buy for me. I want my PS VR experience as best it can be. More specifically, i want gran turismo sport with my G29 and racing seat along with VR as best it can be $$$$$$

AngelicIceDiamond2898d ago

One word; Pumped. I know its not a popular thing to get excited for but I'm a hardcore gamer not a casual one I wanna see this thing at E3.

KentBenMei2898d ago

$400 is the most they can ask for Neo, IMO. It will just look too unattractive to someone looking for VR to see a PS4 Neo for over $400 and then add that to their cost for PS VR.

Dragonking0072898d ago

Sadly if its aiming to do 4k gaming yea its going to be pricey like 500-700 dollars at least...

JustGamin852897d ago

I really was hoping Sony would have some type of trade in deal to decrease the cost of the newer console.

AndrewLB2897d ago

I agree that you Australians are going to get hosed regardless of what it costs here in the US because of the GST (goods and services tax) of 10%, 5% import duty on video game consoles, and a $50 import processing charge which all factor in to the retail price. On top of that, with the current exchange rate an item costing $400 USD will run you $542 AUD in Australia. So once the exchange rate, taxes, duties, and fees are all added up, Australians are looking at a price tag of around $676 AUD without factoring in a multitude of other factors such as cost of living differences, which are fairly high in Australia

poppinslops2897d ago (Edited 2897d ago )

@Andrew: While I agree with all of that, I'd add that consoles are a one-off purchase - at least they were before today - so I don't see the Neo's price being an impediment to it's success 'Down Under' (literally the first time I've ever used that phrase)... that said, I expect the PSVR/NEO bundle will be something of a 'luxury' item this Christmas.

Paying $110 for new games is the worst part - holiday season can be especially tough on the budget if you're a gamer... but our country is ranked as one of the safest, most livable places around (despite all the critters that'll kill you dead) and our women are beautiful, so it's not all bad.

nitus102897d ago (Edited 2897d ago )

I can understand the Neo supporting three layer BluRay disks with HDMI 2.0 or 2.1 and possibly a stronger CPU but other than that I can't see it supporting 4k games.

Even top gaming rigs have limited support for 4k gaming and that is with a decent and expensive graphics cards which require a more powerful power supply and possibly a more powerful CPU. All this adds up to extra heat which in turn requires a means of exhausting it. To do this will require a re-engineering of the current PS4 box which basically means retooling for what will basically be a new model and if you are still going to produce the PS4 then you will need two production lines.

The bottom line is we still have no idea what the Neo specifications are so all we have are rumours.

All I hope from Sony at E3 is that they don't press the Psvr overview so much that they over-shadow it's main console games listings. I don't mind them mentioning psvr, but don't drag our faces on it. Just do a brief summary and then tell everyone to try it out on the show floor. Have a bunch of booths, lots of headsets with different titles or demos. Just stick with the games, Sony. Please just stick with the games.

As for MS, show us Xbox One mini, explain the changes on the new controller. And just stick with games.

stuna12898d ago

Well said! Even though I'm excited for PSVR, nothing sould ever overshadow the main focus of what ever machines we support true purpose for owning it! And for me that's to play games. Give me a controller and a console, and that's all that's needed.

jznrpg2898d ago

I doubt they will take more than 10 mins because you cant show VR well on a stage

Yetter2898d ago

But PSVR seems to be the focus for Sony right now. I have a feeling we are going to see a lot of it at Sonys presser

stuna12898d ago (Edited 2898d ago )

Then why would they confirm it then? The true test has been passed on Sonys part! 1) Unconfirmed rumors of PS4 Neo's existence pretty much a myth up to this point! 2) Confirmed reports of Xbox Scorpio! May NPD reports even after rumored upgraded consoles had been swirling around for some time! Microsofts admission to no new console, but last month admitting to not 1 but 2 consoles, a slim and a hefty upgrade, even though the upgrade in specs can be up for interpretation.

All Sony has to do now is follow Microsofts lead as too when to come in and actually steal Microsofts thunder! Even if Microsoft announces the Xbox Scorpio at E3 or waits till later on in the year Sony would be able to gleen a likely relaase window. Thereby being able to offset any negligible power difference and possibly outbid them in support as well.

@ poppinslop

I agree, all I'm saying is it still gives Sony a pretty wide window to accurately predict a likely release window and make necessary changes. They did it with the PS4 with their Ram. And as far as what everyone claimed we're in both machines many we're far off! Sony aren't as bad at Poker as people seem to think!? David did slay Goliath after all....... Also I appreciate your reply with a solid foundation.

poppinslops2898d ago

Sony's on the clock with the Neo - it basically has to release sometime between PSVR and Horizon: Zero Dawn... I'd bet on it being available before Christmas.

343_Guilty_Spark2898d ago (Edited 2898d ago )

Sony isnt about to Jump MS. I bet NEO is already being manufactured.

gazgriff2k122898d ago

ShadowKnight2898d ago (Edited 2898d ago )

Haha 343 is worried lol. I bet you wish they manufactured it now huh?

@Poppin Sony is on the clock? I didn't know that lmao. They can release it whenever they want since they sold over 40 million PS4'S.

poppinslops2898d ago

@Shadow: if games released after October are required to be optimised for both models, then dev kits will start making the rounds quite soon - assuming they haven't already... regardless of whether or not manufacturing has started, the Neo's specs have been finalised.

With the way this year's been, I expect the specs will be repeatedly 're-leaked' well before they're officially disclosed... and you know it's only a matter of time before somebody at Microsoft sidles over to their buddies at EA and says "Hiya fellers, whatcha got there? Mind if I have a look?"

SmielmaN2898d ago

I think confirming PS4K now, but deciding not to show it is gamesmanship on Sonys part. Now MS goes to E3 to display possibly two new XB1's: Slim and Upgraded version. So Sony might get MS to show specs publically and give a release window. This gives Sony a chance to match/exceed the new MS console specs and match release window.

By confirming the new Sony console, and not showing it, it gives MS a "opening" to try and capitalize on media/trending by one upping Sony and showing their hand. But hat could be exactly what Sony wanted so they can adjust accordingly and then make their reveal at PSX later in the year.

Just my opinion anyway. If I was building this new machine I would def want the other side to show their cards first. To me saying Ps4K is real but not on the E3 agenda is a good bit of trickery to see MS throw everything on the table to "win" E3.

AndrewLB2897d ago

Sony's going to do what they always do and wait for Microsoft to announce first and gauge the reaction in order to make last minute changes if it doesn't go well for Microsoft. Just like they did in 2013 when Microsoft announced their DRM policy which was identical to Sony's, where Sony then removed it from their presentation and lied to everyone saying they never had such plans. If Microsoft is smart, they'll hold off and wait for Sony to show their cards first.

nitus102897d ago

Personally, I have never needed more than two ports but if you really need more, you can get a five port USB adaptor quite cheaply. The following one looks quite nice attached to your PS4. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/...

A simple search should get you more sites that sell this product if the URL does not work.

Mr-Dude2897d ago

I think Sony should've said nothing. Now people will question of the game-related footage they will show is for PS4 and not the NEO, even if Sony explicit says so...

Crazyglues2897d ago (Edited 2897d ago )

This happened because Microsoft is going to do a new console -Xbox two- or whatever it's called in 2017 - so that kind of forced Sony's hand, not to show and see what MS does... if they confirm a more powerful Xbox system in 2017 then Sony has to be careful not to release a weak PS4k so close to the next gen Xbox, because that will force people to just wait for the new Xbox.... if it is 4 times more powerful then PS4k...

So the game just got really interesting now...the ball is in Microsoft's hand now... and if they do release a 4x more powerful then Neo system, then wow Sony's PS4k will be in trouble... and you sure as hell can't launch a new console so close to launching PS4k so they better be very careful and make sure PS4k is not just a mild upgrade... it better have some serious horsepower and not that silly 2.1 cpu specs and little GPU bump that were released because that's not cutting it.

Gol3m2897d ago (Edited 2896d ago )

Well the rumours are 4.2tf ps4 neo and 4 times as powerful as xbox one Scorpio. So you're already wrong on most of what you've said

@export below. Perhaps a little reading comprehension is in order for yourself.
The rumoured specs of the xbox scorpio is 4 times as powerful as the xbox one. That puts it around 4.8tf as the one is around 1.23tf as it sits. So who is one extrapolating on the truth? I honestly couldn't care as I think if MS go that way they'll price themselves out of the console race. Where your reading comprehension failed you is the fact I never said it was claimed to be 4 times more powerful than the NEO. But you read what you wanted to read out of my comment and jumped the gun. Face it you look stupid now

Export2897d ago

@Crazyglues @Gol3m You guys need to do your homework . 6 teraflops peak power for Xbox One Scorpio, which puts it ahead of PlayStation 4 Neo’s reported 4.14 teraflops target . This ISN'T four times powerful than the Neo and Show the Xbox new console IS more powerful than the NEO not the otherside there , Gol3m ...

It's probably be priced between $400 - $500 I would think. I'd be surprised if it's more then $500 though. It probably won't come out until 2017 I bet. Microsoft's Scorpio won't get released until after the PS4 Neo. Looks like no new hardware will be announced at the E3 this year. even the NX is taking a pass.

Eidolon2898d ago

Which ones. We know Neo exists now, but did anyone really doubt a new system would release alongside Morpheus? We still don't know the specs or exactly what this upgrade entails.

bouzebbal2898d ago

that was a given..
It's like 3D. The same game supporting 3D played on a 3D capable TV has an extra menu (Play in 2D, Play in 3D).
Playing in 4K will be no different.

Eonjay2898d ago

It will be probably set on a system level. Like if you go into settings on a regular PS4 you can set the output resolution. So when you connect to a 4kTV you will set the resolution at that point and everything will either be upscaled automatically or run native 4K

hulk_bash19872898d ago

That is exactly why I dont care that they are releasing the NEO. More options for the consumers is always a good thing. Ive had a PS4 since launch day, and as long as the support is still there I wont be upgrading until the PS5. Like I said, Sony would never alienate the millions of PS4 owners out there by dropping support for the platform.

RosweeSon2898d ago

Yep same here happy with my PS4 unless it has major benefits for myself which 4K etc doesn't than in happy with my launch system. I wouldn't get Neo day one anyway as much as it may be an improvement I would wait at least 6-12 months maybe get a game thrown in for free... Also the limited edition versions will start arriving soon after launch, different colours etc, my launch day ps4 will see me through next few years no problems.
Options are always good tho especially when they benefit the users.

SegaGamer2898d ago

Nobody has a reason to complain or worry now. The main worry has been put to bed. All games will work on the standard model and the upgraded model. This is so cool and exactly how i wanted it to be.

This is so much better than getting a slim version half way through a console's life.

thornh2898d ago

Exactly! I'm ecstatic Sony decided to make this a pre E3 announcement rather than take up precious time at the conference. More time for some decent reveals that everyone will enjoy! We all know they are going to spend time on VR but, honestly, it is so difficult to demonstrate it on stage. They would be wise just to go over the basics and talk about where people will be able to try it out (other than E3) for themselves. I want GAMES!!! New IPs!!! I want a true surprise or two!!! Last year is going to be very, very difficult to top.

Deadpooled2898d ago

1Victor2897d ago

@deadpooled don't worry everyone will forget about the PS4 neo if Sony say there's a new crash bandicoot game coming soon and they own the IP

@1Victor

A crash bandicoot game belonging to Sony, (away from the prison which Activision have subjected him to testing COD games, feeding him mountain dew and sticky doritos chilli heatwave, and audio torture with screaming prepubescents about how they F'd his mother and his girl Coco) would be one of the top E3 reveals. Hopefully a preorder collectors edition of it if true is announced with a digital HD remastering of the original trilogy (1, 2 and Warped), a multiplayer Crash Bash mode and a collectors Uka Uka mask.

theXtReMe12898d ago (Edited 2898d ago )

So, they basically just confirmed not only its existence... but the fact that this is a high end alternative to the core system. Meaning, it may actually support true 4K gaming and come in at a premium cost(thinking $5-$600+). Im all for this, if true. Both systems will play the same games... but the 4K will offer higher end PC-like visuals. It will extend the current generation, while still allowing hardcore gamers the high end visuals they crave. Im hoping it launches this year, in time for Watchdogs 2.

Can you imagine Uncharted 4 looking even better? Wow.

uth112898d ago

If it supports 4k gaming, than I hope the 2.3x GPU power rumor isn't true. Seems like it would need more than that to stay on par with the PS4

freshslicepizza2898d ago

it was carefully worded that said supports 4k resolutions, meaning the new ultra bulray format for video. anyone expecting it will play 4k games is in for a rude awakening.

looks like all the rumors were true and as i said before it will not alienate those who fear some games will only be playable on neo.

sony wants to push ultra bluray video because sony also wants to sell 4k tv's. their predictable playbook is at work again. the ps4 neo will be very popular and i expect it to be no more than $499. $399 would be perfect and really good if they can get the regular ps4 down to $299 by then.

Aloy-Boyfriend2898d ago (Edited 2898d ago )

All hair the Nostradamus of N4G @moldybread always predicting what Sony does... Derp

Many affordable cards can do 4k already. PS4 Neo might have that built in, but I think devs are still behind 4K res. So gimme 1080 60 fps for now. Maybe in the next 2 years they will figure out 4k gaming. But I do think PS4 Neo is meant to have more power for games and VR mainly

PS3 did 1080p before devs figured it out years after. I think the same will happen here with 4k and ps4.

Your prediction sounds stupid because there are way many 4k tvs out there, not just Sony. Maybe you should say they are pushing 4k overall, not just 4k only for their TVs

stuna12898d ago (Edited 2898d ago )

But what I understand Sonys way of helping with modifications is unrivaled. Another thing is people think the PS Vita was a failure on Sonys part, but technically it isn't. Last I heard Sony has been really advancing with not only stacked CPU's but stacked GPU's. It could be attributed to the difference in the Xbox1 and PS4 GPU's power difference

Bingo!

Antnee5342898d ago

You know that's probably why they are not revealing this at e3 they heard about what's in the Scorpio, and now they delay the reveal to announce at the Paris games week or what ever it's called like they did last year. With the extra time they will adjust to make it as strong or stronger than the Scorpio at least that's what I think

MasterCornholio2898d ago

@Ant

"they heard about what's in the Scorpio, and now they delay the reveal to announce at the Paris games week "

Rumours of the Scorpio came after the rumours of the Neo unveiling at PGW.

Also this article suggests that this system won't compete with the Scorpio instead it belongs to the current console cycle. Which means that there will be a PlayStation after the NEO that will compete with Scorpio directly.

Eidolon2898d ago

IT would need more CPU power as well.

freshslicepizza2898d ago

@XiKurapikaKurta
"Many affordable cards can do 4k already."

such as? there are no sub $300 cards that do it very well. the gtx 1070 is probably the best for value and that is $370. way too costly for a game console. the ps4 neo is also an enhanced ps4, not a total new generation.

"PS4 Neo might have that built in, but I think devs are still behind 4K res. So gimme 1080 60 fps for now. Maybe in the next 2 years they will figure out 4k gaming. But I do think PS4 Neo is meant to have more power for games and VR mainly"

probably.

"PS3 did 1080p before devs figured it out years after. I think the same will happen here with 4k and ps4."

the ps4 still struggles with 1080p on some games but you think the neo will now do 4k gaming?

"Your prediction sounds stupid because there are way many 4k tvs out there, not just Sony. Maybe you should say they are pushing 4k overall, not just 4k only for their TVs "

perhaps i should have wrote what i said in crayon to make it easier for you. sony is part of the bluray association and also behind bluray disk founders

https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...

which means they are going to want to supprt the new ultra bluray format with their playstation brand just like they did with the cd on the ps1, the dvd on the ps2 and regular bluray on the ps3. doing it now makes a lot of sense instead of waiting for the ps5.

JackBNimble2897d ago

Moldybread is correct , sony is trying to push 4k blu-ray format , I have been saying the very same thing all along. There is no way you will get affordable true native 4k resolution on an upgraded ps4, upscaling sure . It's not going to be this 4k pc like console that the fanboys think it is.

OoglyBoogly2898d ago

If my single 290X can do 4K in a majority of games (most at max settings) then a GPU of similar speed in a CLOSED SYSTEM will be able to do it no problem. Granted it won't be 60FPS and graphics that blow the PS4's current graphics out of the water but I certainly don't see 4K being impossible.

Neonridr2898d ago

@OoglyBoogly - no way your 290X can do 4K at a playable framerate. I have a 970 and I can't. 980Ti users can't even run 4K at good settings, unless you are telling me you play everything at ultra low.

PS4 doesn't have a 290X and apparently the PS4 can run VR. The PS4's graphics card is on par with a 7850. I laugh at the thought of this doing VR at stable framerates.

nitus102897d ago

My Z170 mother board can output 4k video via it's HDMI port however it needs a decent and obviously more expensive video card to support 4k gaming. All PS4's can support 4k video however they can''t support three layer BluRay disks and HDMI 2.0 or 2.1.

Don't think that's what they mean but i guess we'll see. I think it's just 4k streaming content. The ps5 and xbox scorpio will do 4k gaming. Maybe I'm wrong though, but the rumored specs for the neo don't seem to fit 4k gaming.

Just because you're a graphic monger does not make you a "hardcore gamer". It just makes you seem like a person who cares more about the pixels on screen then whether the game is good or not.

And there it is. Much smaller scale reveal than I thought it would be. I'd rather have had a full blown it of information.

"through the life cycle"
Sounds like console generations will still be a thing.

The 10th Rider2898d ago (Edited 2898d ago )

Eh, for the first few years of this gen, games were still releasing for last gen, just often poorly optimized, etc...

Towards the end of this gen I expect to see the same thing. The gap won't be quite as distinct, but it will still be there. Some games might release exclusively for the mid-gen upgrades, then they will be 'remastered' for the following gen.

Technically, there will still be console generations, in all intents and purposes console generations will be even more blended together.

So they're just gonna stealth this thing into the market?

bouzebbal2898d ago

Xbox President Sarah Bond's Bloomberg Interview Is Corporate Fakery At Its Best

Saad from eXputer: "After Arkane Austin & Tango were shutdown, Xbox President Sarah Bond spoke with Bloomberg in what I believe to be utter corporate fakery."

gold_drake3d ago

im not really surprised by that, shes always been more a "let me talk about something else than what u want to know" kinda gal

Cacabunga2d ago

If what they are doing is that good, what’s the point of hiding the true story?

anast3d ago

She's a caricature of the shareholders.

PRIMORDUS3d ago

"Shareholders" I call them cancer, they are already rich to begin with but need more and more. It's like a disease, with no cure.

__y2jb2d ago

If you have a pension then you are likely to be a shareholder in these big tech companies yourself. To demonize them as 'heartless rich people' shows you have no idea what you're talking about.

anast2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

@Y2

Of course, it isn't about that. You are attempting to set up a self-righteous strawman to stir up some kind of ignorant mob mentality.

And by the way, most everyone is a touch heartless or we wouldn't be able to consume the products we do knowing very well how they are made. People have to be this way because of self-preservation and convenience.

__y2jb2d ago

@anast please explain to me how what i said is self righteous or a strawman. I simply pointed out that categorizing all shareholders as cancer is ridiculous.

Leeroyw2d ago

I own shares in game companies. I'm not anything near a major share holder. I just want them to make good games and be successful because of that. I think it's the senior management that's the problem. They are the ones that should be making it clear to the shareholders what creates growth and ensures a future of their business. Not this weasle words garbage that she did on the interview. It was horrific. I don't know a shareholder that would be happy with any of them for this.

Profchaos2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Same and I'm not rich by any stretch like most people's I'm just trying to keep my head above water these days most company's shareholders are made up of everyday people it's amazing how companies think we want something but the reality is we don't.

Disney are probably the worse at the moment it's shareholders voted on ending a lot of the crap and outing the current execs the execs turned around and said no we disagree with the shareholder vote

PRIMORDUS2d ago

I meant at the rich fucks who have millions in the bank already. They are making so much per year, that if they don't make what they are expecting they go into a panic, when in reality it will not even hurt them at all. Those are greedy assholes.

anast2d ago

"you have a pension then you are likely to be a shareholder"

Pensioners don't make any decisions about anything. Obviously that is not what this is about.

CrimsonWing693d ago

Yea, it was and it’s insulting that they think we’re dumb enough to fall for this. Look, the truth was you took a gamble on these studios and while they released some games to critical praise and great reception they just aren’t bringing in a ROI. Be transparent, you’re not a politician.

Just tell everyone you spend money on projects big and small and when money isn’t being made you go over the potential of revenue a studio can bring in vs those that can’t and make the hard decision to chop them.

She says this whole thing about “success” doesn’t fit one meaning for each studio. Well yea, a small budget production isn’t going to expect to sell the same as a large budget production.

One thing I wish they did though was let Tango be an independent studio.

TheGamingHounds3d ago

disheartening to see no regard for the human cost of business anymore
the bad decisions and judgements of these CEOs severely impact the frontliners
these fake responses are just salt on wounds

RoadRacer3d ago

imagine havin the audacity to say "we need more games like hifi rush" right after closing the studio that made it lol
followin up with this show of "deflecting every question" was in poor taste
