Or announce early and cannibalize sales for the following months before Neo launch while majority of people choose to wait and buy a Neo instead of a base PS4. 

So no, it's best they did what they did. Keep it quiet then annouce neo alongside a PS4 pricedrop. Win win. 

Scorpio was officially introduced because MS wanted to counter Sonys PSVR. Beyond that, they had nothing really new and fresh to show on stage.

And? That's kind of the point.

You don't announce a new GPU without demonstrating how much better it is than the old, for example showing in hosue benchmarks. 

So yes, people will want to see exactly how much more powerful the Neo is and how much of a difference it actually makes.

Looked to me like the scorpio rumors made Sony pull Neo from their e3 lineup. And it was a smart move too. If Sony trotted out Neo with the rumored 4tfs it would have looked like a joke compared to Scorpio. Now Sony can try to put out something with a little more power.

At least thats how it looks to me. It also explains why we haven't seen hide nor hair of it even though its launch is a few months away.

Yeah, that was funny. Isn't that zombie game they showed twice in the show not coming until 2018 at the earliest?

They didn't want to reveal the weaker console after Scorpio was confirmed. Nothing wrong with that. We all know it's coming anyway.

That's not what we've been hearing.

Watch from like...36:50

I think all the games Sony showed at E3 are coming in 2017/early 2018 with the exception of Death Stranding. There's a reason Sony wanted to show them being played. GOW looked like a finished game. Not that I'm saying it's finished but that it's a long way into development.

You're not wrong. Tons of people, myself included, always bitch about pointless number boasting, corporate BS, and talking about pretty much anything besides actual video games (such as TV shows, services, or new hardware without new software to show for it).

Oh, and wasn't it confirmed that Microsoft only put in the Scorpio announcement at the last minute this E3 because the S was leaked and they wanted a big reveal? The decision had nothing to do with Sony, and Sony's decisions at E3 had nothing to do with Microsoft. People still think a war is being fought for some reason...

Was it confirmed? Contradiction.

"People still think a war is being fought for some reason..."

A war?

They're direct competitors. You know, like in economic competition. However, you're suggesting the actions of one doesn't influence the decision making of the other. Ok.

So funny.
