PSVR is exactly why they want to launch now.  PS4k has the power so they don't have to apologize for the experience.
Sure they could launch it 2 years from now, but that would define PSVR experience by PS4.0 specs, whereas simultaneous launch means
even if PS4.0 mode is available for these, everybody will point to the PS4K mode as the definitive one, the one to sell PSVR experience by.
As for the large delta in claims re: MS Xbox Dos, IMHO a good part of it comes from discrepancy in comparing just GPU to looking at total CPU+GPU.
MS will have margin with just 1 year delay to push more Hz, more CU, and they may be more aggressive in CPU/GPU arch update (e.g. replace Jaguar).
For Sony, those marginal differences by delaying 1 year aren't worth it when they want to launch PSVR now, and this is how it will be defined.
If they weren't going to launch PS4K this year, then I don't think they would want to launch PSVR now either... But they don't seem to want to wait.

Everything you are saying is based on this supposed need to launch a more powerful console along side PSVr. You are wrong. The biggest selling point of PSVr is that there are already 40M+ PS4 owners. That will always take priority over whatever new yet to be had PS4neo owners.
