How would it minimize negative press in any way? It's only the opposite since there's less time for people to forget or come to terms with the bad news.

It would minimize negative press because there wouldn't be time for anti hype like there was with Xbox One. Its also why they didn't show Ps4 Pro until after E3. If it was shown along with Scorpio it would have been destroyed by anti hype. Same situation here.

Anti-hype?  The Xbox One was panned from day one, it took months for any actual hype to be generated :P (see above post)
