They don't want to announce it too soon before the actual release. The industry has changed in that way. Today people expect a product to be available fast after an announcement. You can thank Apple for that. Plus, when Sony officially announces Neo with all detail, it would surely be a bummer for PS4 sales. Right now only well-informed people know the thing exists. The majority has no clue at all. But an official announcement would make some noise and many people would likely wait for the new thing to release. So if they show it like 6 months before release, PS4 sales could take a serious hit.
I think we will see an announcement sometime later this year and the release will follow just weeks after that, at the very least in the US.
Official member of VGC's Nintendo family, approved by the one and only RolStoppable. I feel honored.
