PS4 Slim to be released in addition to the PlayStation Neo - report

Sony analysts mention a PS4 Slim in the pipeline, separate to the already-confirmed PlayStation Neo.

[hiawa23]

Cool, but the PS4 is already slim enough for my tastes

[Nitrowolf2]

Agreed

I can't imagine it being any more slimmer

If this rumor is true then I doubt Neo will come out this year. And that makes me think that Sony may indeed B changing some of the components on the neo to match Scorpio.

[hiawa23]

I agree 100%

[Filmicfps]

Mine runs quite loud. I wonder if a slimmer one would be even louder.

[Omnislashver36]

If they're doing this, they may be going for the 5.5 TFLOPS which would raise graphics as well as add 60 fps. Nice. I just hope they keep 1080i as an output as I hate 60 fps, and 1080i can cap it at 30fps.

[_-EDMIX-_]

@film- my launch PlayStation 4 recently got a little loud and I actually found out if you open your PlayStation 4 you could clean out all the dust and it runs much quieter.

It's a pretty simple fix. People need to remember to maintain their consoles sorta are no different than you might maintain a PC

[Errorist76]

@filmic

The 1200 series us already much quieter. Only early models can get quite loud under heavy load.

Also clean out the dust. Helps a lot

[Aenea]

@SpeakTruth

Ehhh, I'm sorry, but I actually do have a PS4 and it's really loud with certain games (oddly enough with most games it's in the menus, as if they let go of the framerate and it starts updating the screen way more than 60 times a second). So I don't actually see filmicfps' remark as proof that he doesn't have a PS4...

[fatsodubmo]

My PS4 gets loud as F.

[Nitrowolf2]

My ps4 gets load to, despite me cleaning it. Depends on the game tbh. Uncharted 4 will push my fans for a couple of minutes everytime I start it, but go3s quieter, whereas Gundam Breakers is just a jet engine throughout my entire session

[OB1Biker]

'doubt Neo will come out this year.'
According to the tweet:
'Sony analyst says "PlayStation 4 Slim," not just "Neo," due by Tokyo Game Show in Sept,'
Neo seems confirmed to be shown at TGS...too

[LonDonE]

My launch Ps4 sounds like itsit's about to take off lol and my xbox one is whisper quite but my xbox one elite is louder but no where near the Ps4 level!

Any fanboy doubts me should look at my profile pic, NUFF SAID :)

[XisThatKid]

I agree I love the way it looks in my bed room and living room areas plus it looks and feels like a solid system I don't need a slim but it would be welcomed for others to adopt a PS4

[donthate]

PS4K/Neo at 5.5 Tflops is going to be loud, very loud. Even a PC with a RX480 at stock speed is super loud, imagine that in an APU with the CPU.

I think for PS4 Slim though, I don't think it will be much of a slim i.e. they just add UHD blu-ray and 4K support.The size will be pretty much the same.

[Blazeit713]

Hopefully that's true but can they still keep the price point at 399?

[bouzebbal]

Strange of true, ps4 slim isnt necessary, unless they can squeeze all that in a psone size. That would be mad!!!

[HallowedSoul1]

Yeah first gen ps4s had crap thermal paste( hardened during testing ). So to get the ps4 to quiet down you have to reapply mx 4 thermal paste. Which is a pain but just something to know so nobody blames ps4s cooling design. Sony really should think about making a deal with artic cooling especially for the neo ( prob not getting to 1366mhz gpu oc without some mx 4 ) my pc randomly jumped to 60 degrees on idle with watercooling changed my 2 year old mx 4 with new paste now it's back to 30 degrees. Just goes to show bad thermal paste can change alot especially fan speed. @anyone that owns a ps4 and dust cleaning doesn't lower noise you prob have bad thermal paste not to mention even good thermal paste doesn't last more than 1 - 2 years without hardening and degrading heat transfer. It's well known fact that sony used horrible thermal paste.

[XanderZane]

That's what I was thinking. There's really no need for a PS4 Slim, because it's already SLIM. I can see Sony doing this to save money by putting in cheaper parts, but that's about it. Even with the XB1 S being released, the PS4 will still continue to outsell it overall because the XB1 is never going to be a big seller in Japan and most European countries. So, no major reason for a slim model. The key words in this article is "Sony analysts". This is coming from analyst with no real proof of anything. Sony has never mentioned a PS4 Slim coming out this year. They would release 3 pieces of hardware within months of each other. That would be crazy.

@The 10th Rider
Yeah, but not when you are releasing the PS4 Neo and PSVR at the same time. That's just suicide. M$ is releasing a XB1 S now, so it will replace the bulky original XBox One next year just before the Scorpio launches. I can see Sony releasing a PS4 Slim next year maybe, but not this year. Not like the PS4 is selling badly. Sony is probably making a nice profit from the original PS4 still.

[The 10th Rider]

They would release a slim because tech has gotten to the point that they can redesign the console to make it more efficient and easier to produce. It's the same reason Microsoft is releasing the Xbox One S.

[JackBNimble]

Well maybe the ps4 slim with also be updating to uhd blu-ray like the xbox s, if that's the case the I could see a Neo release sometime next year .

[KwietStorm_BLM]

There is always need for a "slim," as gaming consoles are one of few consumer tech devices that don't get regular refreshes, like phones, TVs, computers, etc. The wafers and all the silicon inside has shrunk significantly since these console released, as they always do, and the whole reason for a "slim" model isn't for gamers to have something new to look at. It's to cut manufacturing costs for the companies in question.

But before you proclaim things to be false or confirmed one way or another, 2 things to keep in mind.. Sony also didn't reveal the smaller PS3 until August at Gamescom, which released the same year. And there has also been no confirmation from Sony about the Neo's release, other than it being a thing. So, there isn't 3 pieces of hardware releasing within months of each other until they release.

[atticus14]

Slim versions aren't really for the consumer, it basically means Sony finally is able to make its product cheaper and more efficient. They may not be able to make it slimmer, but im sure they can, but for instance if they can reduce size, you can obviously fit more in a shipping container and probably pay slightly less for materials. When they are shipping out thousands of consoles for Christmas it would add up to a ton of money saved.

[bleedsoe9mm]

about making it cheaper smaller is just a byproduct

[daynnight365]

Yep, they can only fuq things up.
This isn't like last gen. The ps3 fat boy needed some work, but not the 4.
Unless they keep the look intact and just shrink it

[JackBNimble]

Tech is constantly evolving , there is always room for improvement in pretty much eveything .

[hells_supernova]

I agree it must be Wii sized! if it is smaller and runs cool and quiet I will not complain

[Sunny_D]

Seriously, but is it possible we can ever achieve the level of slim that the PS2 did?

[Mulando]

yes, but it could become more quite

[otherZinc]

Will either new PS4 support HDR? Didn't hear any Sony executives mention that at E3.

[UKmilitia]

only thing i dont like is usb on fron as my headset dongle sticks out,apart from that its perfection by design and size

[IamTylerDurden1]

The original PS4 is still smaller than the xboneS, and the xboneS got a die shrink. Can u imagine how small the PS4 will be with a die shrink? Sony really does outclass the other companies in terms of hardware manufacturing (consoles).

[migh_and_highty]

PS4 as a launch console is very slim as it is, if sony can get it smaller then it's just sheer brilliance engineering from sony. Sony managed to create a slim console with an integrated 'power brick' which uses the same cables from the ps2 and ps3. I don't think any other hardware manufacturer comes close to their level of fine-expertise

[sammarshall102]

With that slim console came a louder console with more heat

[Angeljuice]

Mine isn't audible for 90% of the time, after several hours of playing it makes a fairly quiet fan sound.

Is the XBox small for 90% of the time only to grow into a behemoth when its been on for several hours?

No, then PS4 is much less of an inconvenience, isn't it?

[Good-Smurf]

PS2 Slim ran a lot quieter and cooler than original PS2.
Man if PS4 can get close to the size of PS2 Slim...

[Errorist76]

As if you'd know...

[daynnight365]

You're ps4 is probly clogged with dust out the azz. Take a vacuum to it please

[qwerty676]

Agreed if they can make it smaller hats off to them. Sonys engineering team is top notch I've always liked their products.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

The original engineering is where Sony showed their guns. A smaller model isn't brilliance, it's inevitable.

[Tech5]

", if sony can get it smaller then it's just sheer brilliance engineering from AMD and Foxconn."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...

fixed with link and correct credit.

N4G has a huge love for sony however neither Sony or Microsoft factor in the chip sizes and overall hardware size, AMD and Foxconn are responsible for this. MS and Sony pick and purchase sub-licensed chips and configuration. naturally as tech improves motherboards will get smaller as a result. but anyways, crickets would be chirping at MS and Sony's next gen conferences if these companies went down under.

[Sweendog007]

So think it's time everyone agrees that both Sony and Microsoft are doing the same thing by bring out a slim version and high end versions

Smart business move and great way to expand their market

For all the people who are disagreeing , you are basically disagreeing with fact. Both company's are bringing out a slim and high end machine it's obvious now so stop the bull shit trying to argue fact that one company is running the gaming industry and ending this generation while the other is a saint. Both are doing the same and if you can't see that that you have no idea what you are talking about.

It's fact

[Dragonking007]

Well to be fair sony been doing it for years back on the ps2 era they launched 2 slimmed down ps2 aswell

[Software_Lover]

You're young. They released slim versions of the original playstation also.

Sega also had slimline versions of the genesis.

[Nitrowolf2]

He's talking about releasing an upgraded version in addition to the slim though

[Sweendog007]

I am not talking about a slim

Microsoft and Sony are both bringing out slim and high end versions

Both are doing the same , so I think it's fair to say that now rather than Sony are not doing it just Microsoft etc

Slims have been around for years.

Will be interesting to see what one sells better if both neo and slim are out at the time

[Filmicfps]

Will people cry about the slim being sent to die because of Neo as well?

[WeAreLegion]

Don't forget the revamped NES and SNES.

[Sweendog007]

I know they did , not saying that

Microsoft and Sony are both brining out a smil version of ps4 and Xbox one , as well as high end machines.

[Kribwalker]

Nintendo did that with the original NES in 1993

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/...

[DragonPaw]

Maybe the old Neo specs were true from the dev kits, but now that Scorpio is announced, they are making an even MORE upgraded console. The slim will have the performance of the "weaker" Neo? To maintain console prices, it is still feasibly affordable to upgrade components as they become cheaper. Maybe the Neo was already in production. Scorpio just inspired a bigger change.

[darx]

They are!? Where'd you hear this?

[DragonPaw]

Sorry, I don't think you caught all the maybe's and a statement ending in a question mark, but bluntly I think this is a possibility that I came up with on my own.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Didn't know this was ever in question.

[SynKakarrot]

Yes that was my thought since Microsoft announce the Xbox S but I read more negative talk on here about Microsoft killing the Xbox S cause Scorpio and that they where desperate and more....finally I se some positive talk about it

[StormLegend]

Are they really gonna do the same as MS? Just release the Neo and leave it alone!!! No more consoles until 2020-2021

[Fishy Fingers]

Slim models are as much about saving on manufacturing (and associated) costs as anything else. It's just an added bonus that it can help drive some extra sales. It's a win win for Sony/MS.

[Goldby]

Accidently pressed disagree.

IM SO SORRY!

On a side note. Its also because of theatre support.

[-Foxtrot]

Wish they would just confirm this. It's getting annoying hearing different things about Neo...although I guess it's working in Sonys advantage, they haven't even shown it off and we're all talking about it just as much as Project S by Microsoft.

[sammarshall102]

The Scorpio is getting more talk and clicks than all of them

[-Foxtrot]

Not really

[Errorist76]

Desperately grabbing at straws...

[qwerty676]

Right now probably. But that's mostly due to the fact that Sony hasn't made a public unveiling of their new hardware all they've done is confirm it.

[Software_Lover]

Oh man, the f'n mass confusion that this will cause gamers. WTF is Sony thinking?

[FlexLuger]

six people cant spot sarcasm.

[Psygnosis333]

You can't be sure,so meny stupid people and little children are on this site

[MatrixxGT]

I see what you did there!

[Paytaa]

So basically Xbox and Playstation are doing the same exact thing except one is expanding into PC territory. One less thing to bicker about.

[Goldby]

And the other is expanding the playstation name. Very different vusiness models

[Paytaa]

Well couldn't you say they're expanding the Xbox name as well? I mean both Xbox and Playstation already have their names attached to things non-gaming related.

[Goldby]

Well sony is expanding the playstation name to more than just gaming. They have the playstation theatre, playstation vue available on alot of set top bixes like amazon, chrome, sony tvs and samsung tvs. Playstation mobile as well.

While ms is trying to get your pc i. The living room, sony is expanding the name to be seen where ever you are

[UncertainCategory]

This makes sense actually.. Sony probably want's a 4K Blu-Ray/streaming system out as soon as possible. They do sell 4K TV's after all.

[Goldby]

Qnd 4K vue is on tbe horizon. Pun not intended

[Sweendog007]

Sony are brining out a Netflix style with Sony movies only , all in ultra HD , will be streamed to Sony 4ktvs later this year ( America only at the moment ) my guess it will be aviable in ps4k too makes sense

[ocelot07]

Not sure what to think of this. I find it stupid releasing 2 new consoles. But I suppose if they stop production of the older model. Then bring out the slim at a cheaper price I suppose that is ok I guess.

[GoldPunch-TR]

Even Standart PS4 is slimmer than Xbox One S.

[Sunny_D]

Which just the brilliance of Mark Cerny and the engineers at Sony.

[Tobsesan]

All of a sudden its the best thing ever, just wait and see.

[Aloy-Boyfriend]

Who said it wasn't?

[Tobsesan]

I mean, didnt you all hear the bs talk after MS announced the Slim and Scorpio? With Sony doing Slim an Neo its all great and the best idea ever.

[Sparta07]

No I didn't hear all the bs talk about Scorpio. But I did hear all the bs from you and xbox fans when rumors of Neo started coming out. But whatever Microsoft does is cool with you guys.

[Tobsesan]

MS was in talk first to come out with a new console but ye.... look my through my comments, I never talked sht about neo.

[Errorist76]

The X1 should have been slim right from the start, so...it was desperately needed

[darx]

Not really, it's not that big

[ninsigma]

For casuals it's just as confusing. Big time gamers aren't confused about this but people pointing out that all these models will confuse the mass market are probably correct.

[Sunny_D]

A slim version is common for Sony consoles since the PS1. Who didn't expect the PS4 version to get a slimmer version? The PS3 slim came out in year 3 which the PS4 is in as well.

[InTheZoneAC]

so ps4 is getting a new slim model, what will neo look like? Hopefully it's the same design as the original ps4, not sure if they can top that.

[Psygnosis333]

I was thinking the same

[Sparta07]

They should just come out with the slim this year and hold off Neo till next year. Just make it more powerful then Scorpio. Make it next gen.

[cfc83]

ps4 may be smaller, but it's also louder.

[S2Killinit]

I had a hunch.

[cfc83]

Yeah true tob. MS got slated for this, now all of a sudden it's acceptable. Imagine it didn't have 4k playback. Ouch.

[Aloy-Boyfriend]

They got slated for this? Was what the reaction at E3?

I see what many have argue is that the more powerful versions will make the slim versions obsolete.

[Sweendog007]

Is the same thing not the same about ps4 slim ? Will that not be be made obsolete because of neo ?

[ninsigma]

@sweendog
Isn't that what he just said?? considering he said "more powerful versions".

[cfc83]

Numerous versions mean more peoples budgets are catered for. It broadens the potential consumer base.

[JasonKCK]

cfc83 so true. A lot of opinions will miraculously change.

[Fist4achin]

I was kind of hoping the Neo was going to be the slim as well...

[liran]

why?

[candystop]

I thought Sony were the market leaders ! How is it they are simply reactionary to everything MS. Seems as if both consoles will always be similar which is why now I bet the Neo and Scorpio will be fairly similar. It also makes no sense for MS to go 1st at E3 when they are not the market leader!

[Aenea]

Reactionary? LOL, as if Sony whipped up a Slim console after hearing MS did one at E3! If they release a Slim this year it was already in the works before MS announced one...

[ninsigma]

I like Sony going last. Gives me a reason to take the next day off because it's not on till 2AM here xD

[Sunny_D]

You mean a slim console that Sony has made since the PS1 days?! No way!!

[Aenea]

Warning! *alarm bells wailing* Warning! Rumours and speculation below this:

I've read on some sites (NeoGAF for instance) that Sony had 2 prototypes and that a while back they weren't exactly sure which of the 2 to use for the Neo, so my thought when I saw this headline:
What if they are going to use both and the lesser of the two will be the Slim?

[qwerty676]

Interesting, considering they already have a fairly slim design combined with the fact that it runs very hot because of its compact design. How will they make it slimmer without it sounding like a jet engine?

[Grilla]

Die shrink = less power, less heat

[Grilla]

Die shrink = less power, less heat

[Livecustoms]

people gave MS shit for doing this....

[Aenea]

True, but if Sony releases both their Slim and Neo at the same time it is a little different...

@Jason
Depends on why people were giving MS shit for it, most I've seen is that people would not be buying the S now already when the Scorpio comes around a year later, but if Sony released both at the same time there is no waiting at all.

Situations:
1) you don't have an Xbox One
2) you already have anl Xbox One
3) you don't have a PS4
4) you already have a PS4

if 1) it depends if you can wait a year or not or really want that 4k support now then you buy the S otherwise you wait, if 2) the only reasons to get the S is if you just want to get everything MS or really can't wait for 4k support otherwise you wait. I suspect that most people in either situation will rather wait (I would).

if 3) you don't have to wait since both the Slim and Neo release at same time and if you want 4k you just go straight for the Neo, if you don't care about 4k or better performance you go with the Slim. if 4) well depends if you want the upgrade for performance and/or for 4k, again no waiting necessary

I felt most people hated the idea that there's waiting involved with the S/Scorpio situation, do I get it now or do I wait a year, no such thing with Neo/Slim.

Also, if the Slim completely replaces the current model, why would it be different if it's the Slim they are selling instead of the original PS4? The choices stay the same for when you own a PS4 already or not...

Yes, I know the S will replace original X1 model, but not having the Scorpio be available means you have to decide if you want to wait or not (even if you already own an X1)...

It is different. If you don't see it like that, well, that's up to you!

[JasonKCK]

Not it doesnt

[MCTJim]

What analyst? Some guy on the Internet?

[objdadon]

Well if this is true it doesn't look like we'll be getting the neo this year.

[Sevir]

See that's the thing about leaks they certainly do put a downer on things prematurely.

That said, both MS and Sony have done slimmer revisions for their consoles. The confusing thing to the industry is the high end versions in the same family.

I suppose for MS they're doing the PC thing as well which has me scratching my head.

But slim models... at this point we can all just say, AMD is playing both sides lol.

[ziggurcat]

so similar to Xbox One S/Scorpio, then...

[ninsigma]

The plot thickens! http://i.dun-dun-duh.com/0j...

What are they gonna do?? Lop off the top half?? It's already pretty slim xD
So if this is true, I'm guessing the 2016 release dates that have been going around will be for this and not neo.
Too many rumors, too little info.

[Antnee534]

I can see this being what the neo was going to be aka those leaked specs, and then we will get the new and improved neo with power to match or beat the scorpio. This could be why the sony pr laughed off the difference in power. Also that could just be a pr stunt.

[DivineAssault]

I would like to get the slim but ill stick with the original.. My 3 year old car got totaled, i have a trip to vegas planned, as well as other expenses i need to tend to.. Maybe ill get the slim later on when this one dies out or theres a good deal on it.. The neo however is definitely in those expenses lol.. Im getting that for sure along with the VR..

[blackout]

Seems like they are scrambling right now. So there second console everyone is talking about is a slim now. So many save me reports. Like I said all Microsoft did was raise the price on Sony. The Sony fans can laugh all they want but THE ART OF WAR is reall and Sony has awaken a sleeping GIANT. So happy Steve and Don are gone.

[Rimeskeem]

I really don't understand. Since when did people buy consoles for all the power? If you want power save for a PC UNLESS you want exclusives which so far only 1 company is offering them at the moment.

[Grilla]

Some of us want more power without the hassle of a pc.

[Stogz]

Error every Playstation has had a slim model, but yeah you keep thinking that nonsense you posted is true....

[SonyWarrior]

PS4 Neo is going to be more powerful then xbox scorpio just watch its going to be the unveil like when they showed ps4 after xbox one. history repeating

[thexmanone]

yum, no it wont

[Grilla]

The scorpio will most likely release a year after the neo, which would give them plenty of time to one up anything that Sony puts out.

[Rhezin]

lol I hope not, It's be no different than MS' stupid decision.

[Kaneki-Ken]

Didn't they just recently mention that they are fined with the original PS4 and it's size. And that there no need for a slim.

[Artemidorus]

Still happy with my Playstation 4 a great all round console.

[opinionated]

Better announce it fast before aug 31st.

[daynnight365]

Ok this might be unpopular, but I believe sony can just fuq things up. The ps4 is perfectly designed.
Unless they keep the look intact and just shrink it.
I really don't get slim versions anyway. It's not like it's portable and a smaller size is doing us any favors. It's about the $$ tho so I guess I do get it

[corroios]

But can the ps4 be even smaller? Like what? 10% 20%

[BlakHavoc]

Well the ps4 is already pretty slim but I'd welcome a smaller option. Will there be a slim NEO?

[AmUnRa]

Yes indeed the ps4 needs no slim version, the ps4 is even smaller than the xbone slim.

[subtenko]

PS4 slim to be as thin as a piece of paper, still not taking out and changing features unnecessarily like Apple. Take notes Apple!

[HAHAHAHAHAHAHA]

Dont see why not if it makes it cheaper. And im sure the reports are saying neo is less powerful then what they are actually saying

[PaulFiend]

My PS4 EU launch model is as silent as a grave. If your PS4 is loud it may need to be cleaned.

[starchild]

My PS4 was loud from day 1. Not as loud as my fat PS3 but still pretty loud.

[Shineon]

Oh wow maybe people will now stop saying the xbox one s is in direct competition with Neo as you can see these are slim models.So now sony is releasing three consoles lets see if the Ps fanboys will accept this as cool since sony decided to do it now

[DarXyde]

If true, seems delightfully pointless. Sony should just find a way to make Neo slimmer. Too many configurations. This would only work if they discontinue PS4 "fat" (if you could ever really call it that with a straight face...) and launch Neo as the normal size console.

[MatrixxGT]

If true. Many fanboys will have wet dreams tonight.

[kenwonobi]

Most people will own the cheaper original consoles. PS4 will always have the power and sales advantage there. It'll drive down the regular console price. I'm not that enamored with the Neo or Scorpio because it'll just act as a 4k device that plays games at high-resolution. Games and VR will perform better but I'm not sure I will upgrade yet. PS4 is still vastly superior to Xbox One and is barely half done with this generation. Then again it depends on price too. If Neo is affordable i might get that.

[dreadz74]

So to all who though no Neo this year SONY Annalist confirms it will come @ Tokyo game show along with a slim. Wall Street Journal reporting this..

[Tedakin]

But but but...... who would buy a slim if there's a more powerful Neo... but but but...

:P

[Night99]

PS4 is already small enaugh instead of making the console smaller they rather should make the console quieter and cooler, quiet and cool like the original Xbox One is. The PS4 really can get loud and hot sometimes a quieter and cooler would make the already existing PS4 even better in my opinion.

[Grilla]

Maybe they'll do both

[PaleMoonDeath]

Neo is my cup of tea.

[Sunny_D]

Woah, this would be very exciting to see.

[sorenx]

Copy cat games

[Dixiedevil]

Ok, so now where are all the articles about how PS4 slim is a horrible idea. You know they're coming.

[Tsar4ever01]

Ps4 Slim my ass. Psst, As if the Ps4 needs to be any smaller. I 'll believe it when they reveal it. The only thing is probably going to be any smaller is the Apu soc chip from 28mn to 14mn, everything else will stay the same size as the base model, I mean of course with the new BR 4k/HDR drive, and 2tb hdd, I'm predicting.

[B1uBurneR]

This should receive lots of praise from you know who.

[haydar981]

what if Slim is in fact the NEO and the original one shifted to 2017 or 2018 with more TFLOPS that scorpio ???

[Gamist2dot0]

Eh, I had a hunch this was happening since both MS and Sony work with AMD on their consoles anyway. I don't think both brands will have mid-gen consoles if both companies went with/ engineered their own CPU & GPU like last gen.

[otherZinc]

Nice

[S2Killinit]

I wonder if the designs are different.

[Angerfist]

Don't know if this can be legit. It's already a very small machine. I mean it's smaller than Xb1 S.

[hiawa23]

My launch PS4 also sounds like a jet engine on some games, but I am not buying another just because of that.

[DillyDilly]

Sony fans can't give Microsoft a hard time anymore lol

[dcbronco]

Companies don't make slim versions for gamers, they make them to save money and increase profits. Slim versions come along when the chips have shrunk or been combined or the design of the unit gets refined.

[EricHonolulu]

OMG, can it get any slimmer. That's pretty awesome.

[II__BONE__II]

If they make it any slimmer I won't be able to find it on my TV Stand.

[Rai]

well that sucks...i was hoping it would be the neo, it would give me a reason to actually get it.

guess the same argument for the Xbox One S can be made for the PS4 slim and Neo.

[Psytrix]

The 'slim' will probably be only slightly smaller, with a minor design change, added UHD player and more power efficiency - which is more than enough as the size and design are on point anyway.

[WDBII]

Ps4 slim? Lmao I wanna see this.

[jairusmonillas]

Source for this one is not reliable unlike the PS4 Neo leak. lol.

[fanboysmackdown]

Good, I hope it looks better than the door wedge PS4. I'm hoping for a sexy PS4K myself though.

[marioJP87]

Sony doesn't fail with hardware design ... ever ... when it comes to any of their electronics. I can't wait to see both the slim and Neo.

[nRicosS]

Ps4 is slim already. Make it slimmer, what an engineering

[Sm00thNinja]

So theyd be going the same route as Microsoft?

[adonisisfree]

Ps4 razr edition due by September.

[FallenAngel1984]

How much slimmer can PS4 get

[KillZallthebeast]

well I guess the macro box is just unlucky at this point

[sephiroth420]

gotta milk that cow

...ok this is getting a little ridiculous...ive been saying for years id be ok with short console cycles but i feel like all 3 companys have been doing way too much...nintendo has released 4 different versions of 3ds in 5 years...sony has ps4, a slim, and neo....microsoft has xb1, xb1 slim and scorpio...its overkill...my thoughts were 1 console for 4-5 years not 3 consoles in 4-5 years

Could be passing the 'Neo' off as the 'Slim PS4' and then back to the drawing board for a Scorpio-beater.
