Xbone is also getting an upgrade... so not so fast

Yeah, I was just quoting the Matrix for a laugh, not really being serious.

Now here’s where it gets interesting. The new specs mean that there’ll be two types of PS4 games available: those that can run on any PS4, and those that take advantage of the newer console’s extra power. Rather than divide the market, the report says that from October 2016, every single PS4 game that’s released must have a “base mode”, which would work on older consoles, and a “NEO Mode” for the new machines (which would put stuff in 4K, etc). Developers wouldn’t be allowed to make “NEO-only” games, nor could they “separate NEO users from original PS4 players while playing on PSN.”

The NEO wouldn’t replace the current PS4, but “will exist alongside of it and use the same user environment”. And while there’s an October deadline for NEO-compatible releases, that doesn’t mean the new console will be out that month.

I haven't picked up a console since the PS2.  But I have been considering getting a PS4.  Now I'm just gonna have to wait for this new version.
