nothing wrong with this statement actually
Nothing wrong with the statement, but I wouldn't be surprised if happened to get Neo-only non-VR games in a couple years - or games that can play on the regular PS4, but dubbed down. Enough to feel like they dubbed it down more than they had to instead of optimizing? Time will tell.

Not saying the Neo will be the console to fulfill my fear, but this large update just lay out a way for a slippery slope - console makers will try to test consumers to see how much money they can get. Especially MS want to fight against PC, and Sony will just have to go along in order to fight alongside MS. My fear is upgradable consoles, which means with time there will be new games where I have to get new hardware for the machine to run - and even longer down the road, I might have to change hardware to the older version to play older games.
The reason I am so against this is that grannies buying games for their grankids or just non-gamers are confused enough as is. Kid is asking for a Wii Spiderman game, but owns the Wii U. Which games do you think granny is gonna buy? Spiderman for the regular Wii, that's what.
Kid: "I want a game for my Neo!"
Granny or mother, whatever, buys a game. Game can't run on the machine because it is too old or too new for the hardware in it.
Currently, all granny and non-gamers need to know is the console number, ei. 360 and 3, 4 and One.
This is not what I want. Also... splurging money out for new insides? If I wanted to do that, I'd be on frikkin PC.
Now... let's sit back and see what happens instead of looking at worst case scenario.
This is my signature.
