Sony Interactive Entertainment President Andrew House has today revealed more info about the PlayStation Neo during Sonys Investor Day in Tokyo.
He mentioned that this is the first time that Sony will ever offer a hardware upgrade in the middle of a PlayStations life cycle. Although, he went on to say that this doesnt mean that theyre going to do regular upgrades like weve come to know in the PC and Mobile industry. Nor does it mean that well see a generation hardware change.
He went on to explain that the mobile business is very different with users upgrading their hardware every one or two years, which he doesnt think will ever be the case in the console business, where we know the cycle as being at least five or six years. He does believe that there is potential and thats why the latest and greatest technology can be introduced in the middle of a life cycle. The key factor for Sony will still be the important of the customer, which Sony intends to ensure stays a one console world with the same software for both the PS4 and PS4 Neo.

Sony current strategy is working very well for them, so.. "If it ain't broken, don't fix it!"
Also I think it's pretty clear now that Sony's plans and philosophy behind the Neo are different from Microsoft with Scorpio.
Edit: why the title changed?
