Just keep a stray eye at the business pages - GAME may not survive this year...

You know what I didnt properly read the end of your post 
.
Out of curiosity how much would it have been for the PS4 on its own? Im led to believe everyone dropped their prices as soon as Neo rumours happened.
If I get a PS4 Neo it wont be at launch and Im basically thinking of giving my PS4 to my bro-in-law. I cant imagine their will be that many decent trade in deals

I can see it now.. PS Neo launch title... Uncharted 4: Remaster.
If the leaked docs are to be believed, they can't do that.
Only if it was called the PS5.

Oh I see what you did there.

Games cannot be Neo exclusive so that idea is nixed. All they can do is make a patch for the existing game to look better on Neo.

I was day 1 for the PS4 and will be day one for the Neo... actually looking forward to that more than PSVR.
Can I ask why?
Depends on the price gap between the two.
If they announce a price drop for the base PS4 and then bring the Neo in at $450-500, I dont think it'd make much difference. It's a guaranteed sale at some point for them even if a person waits. Plus they'd still get plenty of base PS4 sales from the more budget-minded. AND of course all the people who have base PS4's already and will double dip on a Neo.
12 months would be a very long time, though. And yea, that's probably not a good strategy. But anytime within 6 months of announcement seems reasonable enough. The rumors so far have been saying a late 2016 release. I wouldn't be surprised if they wanted it to release in conjunction with PSVR, as I'm pretty sure that is one of the big reasons for the idea of an upgraded console in the first place.

It might go the other way though for the budget minded people and people who bought the original and want the NEO end up selling their old consoles flooding the second hand market meaning that there will be loads of dirt cheap consoles floating around. This would mean Sony lose out on sales due to the old cheap ps4s on the market.

I hope they incorporate a way to transfer all my digital titles from my current PS4 > Neo without the need to re-download my entire catalog. Ideally I'd like to be able to unplug my 2TB drive and plug it in at the other end.
The prospect of buying used has always and will always exist. And there will always be those who prefer to buy new. A price-dropped PS4, even with cheaper used versions out there, will still provide a good sales boost.
Especially if they can swing a 1TB HDD as standard and have all the improvements made with the newer models(cooler and quieter).
They might do a console-to-console transfer but you won't be able to swap HDDs.
How? They are still faffing about with Fat32....

I would just want to swap hard drives from my existing ps4 then reregister the console as the primary device.
