@rjejr The most important thing to take away from that road map is that contrary to popular belief, it is VERY possible to put AMD hardware in a handheld device and still let it be powerful enough to run demanding software. And have no power issues...

And what's a PS5? Is that what you call the NEO?

There is a VERY big chance that there isn't even going to be a PS5, as even discussed by Sony's CEO. They may well go full digital/streaming, and that won't necessitate any hardware that will be more powerful than what the NEO will offer.

And even if there will be a PS5, that won't come until 2019/2020. They are not going to release the NEO in 2017 and only give it a 1 or 2 year run. That would be utter insanity and will cause them to bleed money like crazy, and Sony has already been through such a storm and it is the PS4 that helped them out, for the most part, so that's just not going to happen.

And besides that, you're betting on the wrong horse between the other two: Microsoft is the one that will be doing the crushing, with the Scorpio. It completely blows the NEO out of the water, even taking into account the rumored redesign that Sony now wants to do because of the Scorpio. That redesign is still weaker than the Scorpio, so apparently the hardware has some limits that they can't surpass if they want to keep the NEO and the base PS4 compatible with each other.

I also don't know why quite a few people (you included) keep struggling with the whole price/performance thing when it's so simple.

Both this AMD solution and the Tegra X2 solution will be offered at competitive, mid range prices, so $199 at the most for the complete chip set, so if they incorporate that into console hardware they could easily keep the consumer price to around $300-$350 at the most, and with that kind of hardware in it, it will be a very capable system that will be of interest to a large audience, whether it will be as a main or a +1 console.

And my schedule is currently slightly warped: I should be in bed by now, since it is in the middle of the night over here, but it is also the summer holiday season over here, so my work is hampered by that. Calling companies to sell them stuff only to find out that the decision makers aren't present and won't be back until the second half or even the end of this month isn't really a good motivator to get up early and go to bed on time...

So, I've given myself the week off, and next week we'll start afresh.
