The upcoming new PlayStation 4 Neo and Xbox Scorpio consoles are promising to shake up the market quite a bit, with the potential to bring an end to the traditional cycle with mid-generation upgrades. There isn't much we know about the two consoles at the moment, but one thing we know for certain is how big publishers absolutely love the ideas behind them, as recently reiterated by EA's Peter Moore.
In a brand new interview with IGN, Peter Moore has been asked about the PlayStation 4 Neo and Xbox Scorpio. In Moore's opinion, Sony and Microsoft have done incredibly well, as they are doing what needed to be done to keep their platforms fresh for technology.
"I think Sony and Microsoft have done this incredibly well. They have taken what they needed to do whether it’s 4K... to keep the platform fresh for technology that's moving faster than the archaic nature of a 10-year piece of hardware cycle."
Unsurprisingly enough, Peter Moore also revealed that EA teams are already working on PlayStation 4 and Xbox Scorpio content, also revealing that the teams are loving what they're seeing right now.
The PlayStation 4 Neo is finally getting revealed next week during a special PlayStation Meeting event in New York, but yesterday we have been able to learn more about it thanks to a sketch made by a Foxconn worker who shared it on Chinese forums A9VG. He also reported that the console will be slightly thicker and heavier than the original PlayStation 4, not surprising considering the increased power of the console.
The PlayStation 4 Neo will be officially unveiled next week, on September 7th, during a new PlayStation Meeting event. We will keep you updated on the console as soon as more comes in on it, so stay tuned for all the latest news.
