Andrew House, president and global chief executive of Sony Interactive Entertainment, has confirmed the existence of the PS4 “Neo” to the Financial Times. House has also confirmed that the “high-end PS4” would be more expensive than the current $350 version.
Last month, Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) announced that the PS4 has cumulatively sold through more than 40 million units to consumers worldwide as of May 22, 2016, continuing to demonstrate the fastest-selling console in PlayStation history.
More details about the rumoured PS4 hardware revision, known as the PS4K, have been revealed by “multiple sources” according to Giantbomb, and confirmed by Digital Foundry. The new information reveals the hardware that will power the new console, and the console’s codename: Neo – another reference to The Matrix (see: Project Morpheus).
Over the past week, there has been a number of industry reports claiming that Sony is working on a upgraded PS4 model that will support 4K resolution. Kotaku and Eurogamer were the first to report the news, which has now been backed up by the Wall Street Journal.
