Leaked New PS4 Model 'Neo': Everything You Need To Know

1. People Are P*SSED

The biggest takeaway from all this? People are quite justifiably peed right off with the way it looks as though Sony are taking the console market. After all, when the company came in during the 90s, the proliferation of disc-based media spread like wildfire. Thus, by changing the very idea of what we think and expect console gaming to be all over again,it alters the very nature of how we consume the systems themselves.

After all, Apple and Samsung have been releasing new models of their iPhone and Galaxy phones every year for almost a decade straight, so why wouldn't consoles do the same?

I personally think it's a necessary step, not out of corporate greed or any sense of money-grubbing (that will come later if this catches on), but because the machines as they are right now just aren't cutting it. For every Metal Gear Solid V or GTA V that runs like a dream, you've got a Assassin's Creed or a Drive club. Those latter titles get patched and improved once they're out in the wild, but developers simply need better tools at their disposal to build more reliable games from the ground up.

Put it this way:If the PS4 was already at NEO-levels of hardware, every initial version of a game you see at E3 would actually release as advertised, not suffer downgrades for the sake of version parity across consoles and PC.

Think about that.
