Playstation 4 NEO Launching in 2016, good? Why?

It seems you're right:

Additionally, beginning in October, every PS4 game will be required to ship with a “Base Mode” for the original PS4 and a “NEO Mode” for the new model. Furthermore, games launched in late September will require a day one patch to add a NEO Mode, NEO-ready games can launch before the system itself is available, and previous released titles can be upgraded via a patch with NEO features. Despite the October requirement for games, Sony didn’t mention a release window for NEO in their documents.

I can't find the report I read that stated what I've said so we'll have to go with this. This isn't a good move by Sony if true.

I don't understand what isn't a good move by sony?

The Neo-Dev kits have been around for at least 3-4 months so far and initially all the developers need to do is guarantee 1080p as a minimum, then there is isn't much else for them to do to just meet requirements.

I wouldn't be surprised if Sony have asked specific developers to make pretty big changes to their games for October and it's a good indicator that launch of the machine is imminent.
