The Rigby cycle.
"Also, to answer your questions in a simple manner: All slim consoles were named like their OG versions. So the PS4 Slim will be called PS4." It's possible the OG PS4 does not support UHD Blu-ray but the PS4 Slim does, do we STILL use the same name?Huge wall of text for... things that have been known for quite some time now?
Also, to answer your questions in a simple manner: All slim consoles were named like their OG versions. So the PS4 Slim will be called PS4. The Neo, however, will have a more distinctive name, something along the lines of "PS4 Plus", and most probably not PS4K, since that name is a marketing disaster waiting to happen.
Also, "Should the new WiFi radio be indicated in a model number that is consumer friendly?"... what? Wait a second... what? A model number that indicates a new wifi radio?
Maybe I'm missing the point here and I'm being rude, but where exactly is your point after all that text?
EDIT: Nevermind. Checked your thread history. Didn't know you were known on GAF for incomprehensible ramblings.
You guys should get your stories straight.Huge wall of text for... things that have been known for quite some time now? = *insert wall of incomprehensible text*
ignoring jeff_rigby doesn't help if people quote him. haha.

Neither does he, which is a big part of the problem.I might not understand the technobabble

lolHe understands more than many, which is why he has a following. His tendency to leap to conclusions based on sketchy information is the beginning of the problem. The absolute insistence that his conclusions are the one and only truth is where he rubs people the wrong way. Okay, that and the continued wall of text posts in any thread that's even tangentially related.
Sony releasing a lot of hardware
Yep.
* PSVR - that will include the processing / output / breakout box that does the re-projection, etc.
* PS4 Slim (just confirmed today / last night)
* PS4K / PS4.5 / Neo - The high-end PS4.
* Another "PSP-like" handheld is also rumored, but not yet confirmed.

What time is this meeting in GMT?
PS4K still best name. It sells it perfectly.
some are saying the last one could be NX though. I can't see Sony releasing another handheld unless it's somehow profitable. Dunno how they do that.Yep.

Local news just had a story about the Neo lol.
Sure it wasn't about the slim leak?

edit: guess not lol
Would you expect the local news to know the difference?
chicagocubsfan said:They were talking about the meeting, they specifically mentioned the upgraded Neo and the "increased pressure from Microsoft's Xbox line".
WGN Chicago.
Kinda surprised they had their story straight.
Yeah, I love the namePS4K still best name. It sells it perfectly.
Yep its a major part of their business.Yep.

If only Sony was more careful, we would not have known about EITHER the NEO or the Slim. And then we would have no idea what they were going to talk about.
Sadly we spoiled ourselves, so now the only thing we would be waiting for is the pricing announcement.
We don't know design. We don't know release date. We don't know max resolution or other specs for sure. We don't know if there are bundles. We don't know if it has a UHD player. We haven't spoiled much if anything.
Also the leaks are coming from Foxconn who leak things all the time. Not Sony and in the case of the slim, goods out in the wild somehow.
(emphasis mine)With Microsoft's upcoming Project Scorpio and Sony's not-quite-announced PlayStation Neo, gaming hardware will abandon traditional generational design. Instead, the ecosystem for current consoles will grow with content being forward compatible. In the case of Project Scorpio, we know that accessories will be forward compatible, also. Soderlund was open about how this shift will impact EA's business. The company is ready and eager for iterative design.
"I believe that it's an interesting approach," he told me. "We haven't seen this whole idea of upgrading since the Mega CD in 1991 or something. At the time, that might not have worked, but this is different. I can only comment to what's been announced by Microsoft, the whole idea of keeping the ecosystem intact and scaleable is right. If you get in later in the cycle, you can get a Scorpio or you can upgrade to it. It's an interesting, smart approach, and we'll see how well it works. It's something that we as a company are 100 percent behind. I got super excited when I saw what they are working on, and without giving you any information, the same is true of Sony. In general, this is a good thing."
PS3 tried to use CELL, and Sony got burned for that. Since I expect the gaming consoles for the foreseeable future to involve zero exotic components, it certainly makes sense to just make consoles pre-built PCs, in that backward compatibility would be a default feature.Patrick Soderlund just had ] to say on the subject of iterative consoles.
(emphasis mine)
So it seems logic will likely prevail.
NEO GPU will be 5TF. My bet.
SecondedPlaystation SHBWTSD1 (should've been with this spec day 1)
Nope. Not even the whole console is 5TF. Get ready for disappointment.
