And with the 7th September...

Talking Point When Will the PS4K Neo Actually Be Announced?
Just 4King reveal it
The million dollar question: when will the PlayStation 4K – or Neo as it's perhaps better known – be announced? There was a thread on NeoGAF this week pondering how long Sony can possibly wait to reveal its upgraded hardware, and despite thinking long and hard about it, we've struggled to come up with an answer –...
News GameStop's Boss Just Hinted PS4K Is Coming in 2016
Surprise
GameStop is far and away the biggest video game retailer in the United States, and CEO Paul Raines is privy to information that none of us know. Fortunately, every time that he appears on national television, he tends to let us in on the secret – he more or less dated PlayStation VR before Sony had a chance to, after all. And now he's...

Indeed, developer documentation which has leaked online suggests that studios will be able to start submitting...
Talking Point Is Sony Scared of Xbox's Scorpio?
Neo way
Microsoft jumped feet first into the iterative hardware space at E3 2016, announcing Project Scorpio for… Well, the end of 2017!

E3 2016 All of Sony's Press Conference Games Were Running on PS4
And not on Neo
It must be flattering for the teams at Santa Monica, Bend, Guerrilla Games, and Quantic Dream, but there's been some online chatter about the titles at Sony's E3 2016 presser looking a little too good. Of course, that's led to theories suggesting that what we actually saw was PlayStation 4K footage, but Worldwide Studios president...
E3 2016 Sony Will Not Bifurcate the Market with PS4K
Not about creating haves and have-nots
Sony may not have shown the PlayStation 4K at E3 2016 this week, but its messaging has been razor sharp: the iterative console represents a step-forward for gamers looking for the best possible performance, but no one will get left behind. It's an option – and it will be sold concurrently alongside the...
E3 2016 We Won't Dictate the Future of PS4 to Our Fans, Says Sony

Reaction Will Xbox's Scorpio Take the Sting Out of PS4K?
Neo way
So there we have it, Xbox's rumoured Project Scorpio is real – or it exists as a concept at least. Ever since the rumours regarding an upgraded Xbox One leaked, we've been discussing among ourselves how Microsoft would present it, and we wanted to wait and see before putting pen to paper. Our assumption, however, was that Microsoft would...
Reaction Sony Was Right to Reveal PS4K Prior to E3 2016
Now we can look forward to the show
The big question on Push Square's lips this week was whether Sony would reveal PlayStation 4K at E3 2016. We came to the conclusion that the manufacturer would have to chat about the souped-up system – after all, it would be embarrassing to watch the organisation deflect every question about the appliance given...
News Why Isn't the PS4K Going to Be at E3 2016?
Sony's hanging tight for now
Sony's confirmed a "high-end" version of the PlayStation 4, which is codenamed Neo – but which we're calling PS4K because, let's be honest, it's a fantastic moniker. But the console – which will offer enhanced experiences for hardcore gamers – will not be at E3 2016. Why is that? Well, here's what Andrew House...

Well, duh
Sony has confirmed that the new PlayStation 4K – which it's revealed is in development – will retail at a "more expensive" price than the original console.

Talking Point Will Sony Announce PS4K at E3 2016?
Neo or never?
Sony doesn't really announce hardware at E3.

But most of its big system reveals tend to occur elsewhere: the PlayStation 4 was...
News Is PS4K Scheduled to Launch Before October?
For the upgraders
The PlayStation 4K, or Neo as it's supposedly codenamed, is not a rumour anymore; Sony may have refrained from commenting on the upgraded hardware, but it's almost certainly happening.

Those of you that know me in person will know that I have a mild obsession with NeoGAF, spending incalculable hours trawling through the...

Reaction Sony's Marketing Department Faces a Tough Test This Holiday
For the career ladder climbers
To steal (and slightly alter) an old Simpsons line: won't someone think of the marketing team!
