Sony: PlayStation Neo isn't a shift to releasing new consoles every 1 to 2 years - NeoGAF

Sony Interactive Entertainment President Andrew House has today revealed more info about the PlayStation Neo during Sony’s Investor Day in Tokyo.
 He mentioned that this is the first time that Sony will ever offer a hardware upgrade in the middle of a PlayStation’s life cycle. Although, he went on to say that this doesn’t mean that they’re going to do regular upgrades like we’ve come to know in the PC and Mobile industry. Nor does it mean that we’ll see a generation hardware change.
 He went on to explain that the mobile business is very different with users upgrading their hardware every one or two years, which he doesn’t think will ever be the case in the console business, where we know the cycle as being at least five or six years. He does believe that there is potential and that’s why the latest and greatest technology can be introduced in the middle of a life cycle. The key factor for Sony will still be the important of the customer, which Sony intends to ensure stays a “one console world” with the same software for both the PS4 and PS4 Neo.

 Sony current strategy is working very well for them, so.. "If it ain't broken, don't fix it!"
 Also I think it's pretty clear now that Sony's plans and philosophy behind the Neo are different from Microsoft with Scorpio.
 Please lock if it's old.
 

Kitler is disappointed, but I'm thrilled! Screw iterative consoles and the like.

Weren't you predicting iterative consoles?  PS4, PS4.1?  

But I'm happy to hear this.

I predicted iterative ones that had increased media functionality but identical game performance.

I never wanted the end of generations or even a mid generation refresh.

i don't believe this is anything but PR.  if it plays the same library as ps4 but at higher performance is is the definition of iterative design. 

when "ps5" releases in 3.5 years if it isn't 100% BC and neo (but not ps4) 100% FC i'll eat my crow.
