NEO will be announced a month before its release, doing this it won't affect sales that much; on the other hand, big mistake by Microsoft who announced Scorpio 1 year and half before its release, and the already poor selling figures of XBox One could be affected even more !

By the way, if NEO comes out by Oct/Nov 2016, this is another win by Sony.

Another big mistake?  They announced the S 2 months before it's release, but the only one available in August is the 2TB $399 model, which means the model that will appeal to the mainstream the most, the $299 500GB model, was announced 5-6 months before release.  It's very apparent MS isn't really concerned with beating, or even matching PS4 sales, now.  I think they are just getting out the S to lower production costs and the Scorpio to not only push Windows 10 gaming, but to also have their own VR solution.  If both fail to really change anything, I can definitely see them dropping HW to push more Windows SW.
