Naw. I dont think so. I cant figure out Sony's angle yet and with the NX litterly getting more mysterious with time, something is missing.

I did not expect the X1 Scorpio to have a dedicated and powerful (but expensive) GPU capable of true 4K gaming. The PS4 Neo is supposed to feature an APU only, where 4K gaming is still impossible. Sony needs to upgrade specs.

Never said anything about hiding from there competitors and it's more or a smart choice by Sony to pull it from E3, With the specs leaked a while abck for Scorpio and dev kits must of gone out for the NX with 9 months until it's launch Sony will have an ideo of whats to come and had a meeting and it went something like "Hang on here a minute this NEO we have planned is actually weaker than both the other 2 consoles we need to rethink this for now"

Well first of all we know nothing about Neo and NX power, at least its final specs.And second of all we know for certain that we dont know who will sell more.So I do see why they are hiding from their competitors when this can go either way. |
Common sense is a great alternative for not knowing exact facts. We are at a point where nothing Sony's competitors do will affect them negatively. They have the current console market on lock for the next years. People will not suddenly buy a Scorpio because the Neo is a teraflops slower. Microsoft does not have the exclusives and NX is targeting a completely different market.
So no, they don't have to hide anything because nothing what competitors do will negatively impact their sales.

Your opinion with no credible sources? You need evidence to form an opinion and you have none.

Mark my words, the power difference will not make a real world difference whatsoever. Both Neo and Scorpio are overpowered for what they're aiming for, which is 1080p60. What is a power difference when all games run the same?
The bigger question is the CPU, which will be the bottleneck. If the Scorpio has more GPU power but Neo bosts more CPU, it could even mean that the games will still run better on Neo.

You confuse common sense with assumptions.The 360 last generation was selling much better than the PS3, but Sony managed to turn the tides of it, comercially speaking of course.That is an example to show that you can turn the tides of things.But most importanly, Scorpio will be a new generation, by the way Microsoft explained it.They said Scorpio would have backwards compatibility, but never said the other way around would work.And even if it did, then the console would have no appeal at all, since it couldnt use the full potential of the console(or the XOne version would suck to the point that the true version to play is going to be the Scorpio one).By that I mean, Microsoft is going for a new market.And we dont know what the NX is, and we dont know what market it is targeting.
So yeah, if Sony gets cocky because it is winning now, we will have a PS3 situation all over again.
My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Sony was on top of the world in 2005. Did that carry on into 2007? No. The PS4 is set for the next year or so, but we have NO CLUE whatsoever how Neo/Scorpio/NX will pan out. Insisting that Sony is invincible because the PS4 is doing well is not the best thing to do.

The thing is, there is little reason as to why Sony would announce the Neo now, to begin with. The anomaly is Scorpio being announced a year and a half early.
It might be true that Sony pulled out for that reason but it's just as likely (maybe MORE likely) that they thought E3 this year was too soon.

Actually the rumors are pretty much discordant. At some time it was rumored to be slighly more powerfull than the Ps4. Anyway I don't believe it will compete with Neo and Scorpio. |
I don't think it really needs to compete with the two, considering the Neo and Scorpio still both have to run 8th gen games, just possibly slightly prettier depending on the developers. The casual crowd is going to get lost on the upgrades, unless 4K magically becomes the standard in a year. It sort of just screams the awkward, forced 3DTV push Sony made back in like 2009, except with a full hardware boost to boot.
