It will most likely follow this.

The New Playstation 4.
My predictions:
- PS4 Slim launches on September 8th. 500GB $299, 1TB game bundle $349
- Current PS4 model gets $100 price cut.
- Neo launches on either Sept. 29th, Oct. 13th, or Nov. 10th. 1TB $449, 2TB $499. No game bundles.
Games would be more like 4K-ish though ("4Kinda" as someone said). Wouldn't they want something name wise they could repeat with PS5?
or even PS Vita
Yeah, they could announce it after the conference, but could also state that current CoD bundles are "while supplies last" at $249.While the bold is possible, there's no way they're gonna announce it in the conference. It would create too much confusion and may backfire on them.
I frankly don't think the OG is going to be cheaper than the slim. And yeah, they definitely won't go into the "the original model will be priced this." They'll just announce whatever the price is for the slim, and that'll be the price for the OG PS4 as well at retailers until they go through the stock.While the bold is possible, there's no way they're gonna announce it in the conference.

"Playstation 4K" cheapens the PS4 brand and uses the "4K" brand which Sony doesn't own. It's not going to happen.
PlayStation 4 Plus.Sony don't have a problem using different for a different deviceso using "4K" now changes nothing for what the PS5.5 will be called. What name would perfectly describe a PlayStation device that plays media at 4K besides PS4K?just like with going from PS Portable to PS Vita
I'd love to see GTA V running at 60fps in this. Would definitely upgrade.
4K isn't a brand though."Playstation 4K" cheapens the PS4 brand and uses the "4K" brand which Sony doesn't own. It's not going to happen.

Maybe not.
Don't expect 60fps in sandbox games. Well, unless it got PS2 graphics.I'd love to see GTA V running at 60fps in this. Would definitely upgrade.

surprised more leaks haven't popped up based of slim being exposed like it did
Slim is going to be the same price as the current PS4...$349.99. Sony is going to make huge profits with this price point since the Slim is a lot cheaper to manufacture. PS4 is selling very well, they have no need to go lower until a competitor starts to eat into them, which at this point has not happened.

Sony would want the focus to be on PS4 slim and nothing else, having the OG $50 cheaper go against that. Has any console maker announced a stock clearing price in press conference? Because I don't remember it happening before.
Also, Sony is in no hurry to clear stock for PS4 slim (or maybe they don't need to?), retailers already got the initial shipment (Rumors say PS4 slim release is one week after announcement)
Its here... Elite Controller leaked!?!?!

J/k 3rd party accessories at it again! Gotta give em'credit though lol!
Ehhh those sticks are a HUGE step down
I can't tell if you're kidding or not...
They are.

If it's sata 3 then I don't care what hd is in there, will just replace with ssd. You guys do realize that sata 3 drive will actually let us reap benefits of ssd speed.

Thank you! This is what I've been trying to explain to people. Sony have even fewer configurations to support than do Apple. Assuming Sony have things handled at their end, hardware changes should be pretty painless for developers, and practically invisible for users (apart from the performance increases, obviously).Zen is binary compatible with Jaguar, just faster which like the Jaguar up clock changes the timings anyways, and also as you noted the games do actually receive a Neo patch hence a new binary (which could even allow a change in ISA).
Some people oversold you the drastic reset to zero scenarios with CPU changes... Apple changed CPU arch four times in the iPhone line (armv6 to armv7 to armv7s to arm64) as well as going from single to multi core and they changed macOS from PPC to x86 to x86-64 or x64... magic of universal/fat binaries and some emulation (necessary with the PPC MacOS9 to to x86 MacOS X transition).
Truth. Whatever happened to power for its own sake? I'll take the best tech Sony can fit in the box, thanks.I'm pretty sure the debate over how much horsepower was enough began with the original leak following GDC. Scorpio may have added fuel to the fire, but it didn't start it.
Exactly. Ironically, the change everyone has taken in stride moving from GCN2 to GCN4 is a far bigger stumbling block than the inevitable move from Jaguar to Zen. In fact, Carmack was just on Twitter, wondering what life would be like if GPUs were stable like x86.Jaguar and Zen share an instruction set. One binary would run in both.
You're forgetting about distribution lag. The consoles they shipped Jan 1st - Mar 31st were actually sold approximately Feb 22nd - May 22nd. The consoles they shipped Apr 1st - June 30th aren't covering sales for May 22nd - Jun 30th as you assume, but rather May 22nd - July 22nd. That then lines up fairly nicely with your "weekly pace" estimate, especially if you accelerate sales a bit at the end for stock clearing. Sony aren't overstocking; they're just stocking. This is just how long it takes the stock to actually hit the shelves.As of March 31st, 40m PS4's were shipped.
As of May 22nd, 40m PS4's were sold through.
As of June 30th, 43.5m PS4's were shipped.
There was some clear channel stuffing as the most the PS4 would have realistically sold in the 6 weeks between May 22nd and June 30th would been 1 million.
The PS4 sold 4.1m in the first 20 weeks of 2016, or 205,000 a week. Assuming the PS4 sold the same amount up until last week (15 weeks), that's ~43.1m PS4's sold through, which is a generous high bar. That is 400k less than the amount shipped back in June but Sony would've been shipping even more during July and mid August. They probably shipped at least an additional 500k to reach 44m so even then there is, at best, 900k PS4's out in the wild.
"Detection" too. (i.e. determining what the actors can see and hear) What make FP16 better for pathfinding? Does GCN2 not support FP16 math?Physics? Yes
A.I.? Pathfinding only (Polaris supports FP16, which is ideal for that)
Branchy A.I. code still needs CPU processing power (MIPS, not flops), so IPC matters in that case.
Neo mode games are also required to output Faux-K at minimum when connected to a UHD display. They're encouraged to provide alternate enhancements when connected to HD displays, but it's not required.That's what a NEO mode means, just pertaining to having something other than a base mode. It doesn't mean they have to take advantage of NEO's specs beyond that. The only requirement is that the game is 1080p and runs the same or better than PS4.
Gah!! You'd better hope it isn't! D:If this is real I will tattoo an Ps emblem in my butt.

I so hope neo comes this year ffxv deserves it
The circle of people who knew about this upgraded PS4 was small until recently. I first heard about the device from one trusted source, then two. Kotakus Jason Schreier and Stephen Totilo were also able to independently verify the existence of these hardware plans with their own developer sources, although some of the details have been vague; one source told us that the device felt exploratory and that it may not even be released this year.
Dang. That actually looks pretty nice.Its here... Elite Controller leaked!?!?!
