That's one of the most bewildering design choices of PS4. Initially I was convinced this was because Sony had a TrustZone implementation, which required I/O over USB for SouthBridge oversight, but there's no suggestion of TrustZone. They obviously did it for a reason but that reason isn't obvious. It makes as much sense as season 7 of Lost.
Actually on further viewing the close up section of the Eurogamer video the glossy plastic with the disc drive and usb ports in contrast with the top and bottom matte plastic looks kinda nice..

If you look closely between the USB ports there is a flaw.
Flaw?...It looks like the plastic might be be warped a bit?. Either way i am referring to the general aesthetics of the glossy and matte plastic..
Looks like a couple of mounting brackets. It's cheap, m'kay?!
Cheaper?
Except it costs more.

I believe the politically correct term is cost insensitive.
Fiscally unchallenged.

Well no one knows the prices of these models yet but I think as someone who hasn't spent any money on consoles yet this "gen" a price difference of $100 between ps4 slim and ps4 neo would be any easy decision towards neo considering the difference in hardware..

A third (4th?) gen Vita with 1080p screen and better controls, to facilitate a better PS4 streaming experience, is the only thing that makes sense. And that still makes very little sense.

All I want to know is if there are USB ports on the back. This picture seems to show that there aren't any.
Sony, I am disappoint.
Actually, the PS4 can't stream at 1080p, only 720p. Though I think the NEO is most probably going to solve that so 1080p Vita would make sense if paired with a NEO.
You know what would make sense? A hybrid Vita-Android Xperia console with a Snapdragon 820 or 650 that could run Vita titles and Android ones, along with the better controls and 1080p screen you mentioned.

$150 would make it a harder decision. Especially as a Canadian. Slim would probably cost at $350 and Neo $499.
I think it pretty safe to assume that there'll be a greater than $100 difference. If PS4S is $300 still, Neo will maybe be upwards of $450 to cash in on the more hard-core enthusiast. There'll be enough of a price difference to justify PS4S existence, that's for sure.
Furthermore, $100 is still a 33% difference. That's significant to a lot of the cost-sensitive.
But is it significant enough to not trigger a complete migration? Because that should be the goal, you don't wants Neo to become the majority... Or do you? I would sense purchasers fatigue with PS5.

With the XB1S at 299-399, I would expect Sony to follow a similar pricing for PS4 Slim. They have no reason to try to undercut the price of a 1.4TF console with a 1.84TF console. They can keep a 2:1 market share advantage even at a $50 premium so why start losing money on hardware now?
The next thing to follow closely will be Neo against Scorpio. I'm a bit pessimistic, expecting 499 and 599.
