The Neo renewal isn't just a Neo reveal. It will finally give the journalists and fan boys the numbers they need to write articles to pit Scorpio and Neo against one another.
Nintendo will be drowned out under those articles, especially if the price of the NX isn't right or it lacks launch day games. Afterglow, Neo won't only show case hardware, it will also showcase software.
I agree, Mario & Pokemon are huge, but WiiU, Gamecube & N64 sales show as big as they are, they don't carry enough weight to sell consoles to the masses.
There is one scenario I can think of where Nintendo would come up on top and that's if they announced an exclusive partnership with Apple where the latest phones will come with a new Poke game.
