Sony has put to bed concerns that the souped-up PlayStation 4K will replace the existing PlayStation 4 console, announcing that both devices will be sold simultaneously throughout the lifecycle of the product. This means that the upgraded console – which has now been confirmed by the platform holder – is unlikely to become the "default" unit for developers.
It should end concerns that the existing console is being replaced; the Japanese giant will instead offer the premium model to those who want it, but will continue selling the default device for those not interested in the upgrades that it provides. "It is intended to sit alongside and complement the standard PS4," Sony Interactive Entertainment president Andrew House told the Financial Times. "We will be selling both [versions] through the life cycle."

well that's good news
I honestly think the PS4K will have exclusive games not available on the standard model, and those will be the PSVR games. No way is the standard models doing high framerate and high resolution graphics without it looking like a ps2 game. More power is needed for VR.
@crazycrazydave that's why the PSVR set comes with the external processing unit...
@crazycrazydave They also confirmed no PS4 NEO exclusives.
Apart from the price point I am unsure why they will continue to make the original PS4. The PS4.5 will run all the games and so will the PS4.
As whizzkidd said the PSVR has an external processing unit.
So people will keep buying the cheaper one there dry rain until the neo price drops 😉 $$$
I still can't get used to seeing, Sony Interactive Entertainment.
