Common sense is a great alternative for not knowing exact facts. We are at a point where nothing Sony's competitors do will affect them negatively. They have the current console market on lock for the next years. People will not suddenly buy a Scorpio because the Neo is a teraflops slower. Microsoft does not have the exclusives and NX is targeting a completely different market.

So no, they don't have to hide anything because nothing what competitors do will negatively impact their sales.

You confuse common sense with assumptions.The 360 last generation was selling much better than the PS3, but Sony managed to turn the tides of it, comercially speaking of course.That is an example to show that you can turn the tides of things.But most importanly, Scorpio will be a new generation, by the way Microsoft explained it.They said Scorpio would have backwards compatibility, but never said the other way around would work.And even if it did, then the console would have no appeal at all, since it couldnt use the full potential of the console(or the XOne version would suck to the point that the true version to play is going to be the Scorpio one).By that I mean, Microsoft is going for a new market.And we dont know what the NX is, and we dont know what market it is targeting.

So yeah, if Sony gets cocky because it is winning now, we will have a PS3 situation all over again.

They said fully compatible.  

"Project Scorpio will launch at the Holiday season in 2017, but most notable is the fact that all games and all accessories will work across the Xbox One, the Xbox One S and Project Scorpio."  https://www.engadget.com/2016/06/13/microsoft-announces-a-new-super-powered-xbox-console-project-sc/

This is a mid-generation upgrade.  That's why this is not a big deal and most likely not a game-changer.
