Report: PS4.5 / PS4K ‘Neo’ to release before October 2016

Innelec Media, a French video games distributor, has claimed that the much-rumored PlayStation 4.5, aka Neo, will be released at some point before October 2016.

The company reportedly mentioned an “evolution” of Sony’s current-generation console in a press release for its FY2016 results, where it said that the device, dubbed Neo 4K, will launch in the first half of its financial year. 

Given that Innelec’s financial year runs April 2016 – March 2017, this would suggest that the PS4.5 will arrive at some point between now and the end of September 2016—far earlier than previous reports have suggested.

Reports of an upgraded PS4 have been circulating for months now, and it was originally rumored to hit stores this holiday season for $400

Further info spilled details on a number of enhancements including a meatier GPU and RAM, although it was suggested a launch would not take place until March 2017. Yesterday it was reported that the PS4.5 would be announced at the Tokyo Game Show in September.
