Are we sure that the Neo is coming out this year? Or are we just going on speculation cause of rumors?
If you want Phil criticized Sony for showing games without a release window.

"A lot of that is to do with how Apple has very cleverly and elegantly managed the 'available now' approach."
i wonder what peoples reactions will be if Sony takes awhile to reveal the console and it ends up being weaker than the Scorpio.
Yes, the only thing that I like in Sony approach is that at least they show you the game in a funcional way but waiting for two years is quite a lot. Kojima's project is worst offender though but at least I knew beforehand that they had nothing so I bought the trailer for what it was, besides the man is insane in a good way.

Ugh, yes? When you start to attempt to get into specifics about the console while obfuscating the message, you're fucking up. Simply stating the Neo exists cannot be interpreted any other way, as opposed to the answers we've been receiving regarding the Scorpio.
"I was surprised by the step of announcing something over a year ahead of time," House said, talking to The Guardian about Scorpio's reveal. "The dynamics of the tech industry are such that there's a much heavier emphasis on immediate gratification than there was.
When's PSX? I wouldn't be surprised to see an "available this week" announcement there.
So I need to start saving up for a Neo, the PSVR, and a 4k TV? Sony is trying to destroy my bank account.
This is real? This is real...
Meanwhile in real life, Phil is just confusing everyone with bad PR. Sonys conference is winning best of e3 across the web. Zelda is blowing up social media, and people are actually discussing games coming to PS.
.Maybe Sony should take that approach when they announce their games too.
Considering half the stuff you announced last year won't be out for another 5 months or more this is an immensely ironic statement.
Are we hearing mixed messages about Neo? If not, then yeah, it's an enormous difference.Is what Microsoft did really that much different from what House did in confirming the Neo?

microsoft wants people to know scorpio is faster, so especially if sony doesnt show, this gets in people's heads that, maybe don't get a neo, instead get a scorpio.

We are surprised that you didn't show NEO. Scared of Scorpio?
You know these guys probably all know what is going on with each other before they officially announce stuff right? They are both using the same developers, the same hardware company, being made in the same countries usually by the same big companies. I imagine Sony know how to show Neo off now that MS have managed to say 10 different things and go back on them about Scorpio.

It was the right decision for Sony to confirm it wasn't being announced. It was the right move in my opinion.
Look where Microsoft is at right now with the Scorpio announcement, they raised more questions not about their console, but how they're handling customers, developers, and whether their choice to announce but not only to make the Scorpio is a good decision in the long run. Which so far my reaction has been negative, most people are neutral and want to see where this goes, and very VERY few people are positive about it and if they are it's mostly because they just see this as "choice isn't bad."
If you watch Microsoft's conference they spent the whole conference setting up for the Scorpio and they chose their words so wisely in hopes for no negative reaction or anyone to misinterpret what their selling as something that is bad.
But how I view that is, why is a company trying so hard to prevent that reaction? Yes the DRM on the Xbox One reveal damaged them badly so it's understandable for them to do that. But it's much rather they knew that the Scorpio is somewhat of a bad idea and can be viewed that way and was very careful so they didn't have to get a huge blow to them.
It's easier to say "I did this for good reasons for the consumers" Rather then say "I did this for good reasons for our company."
I said this during the DRM Xbox One fiasco and I will say it now. It's fucking terrifying how much one video game market leader has on the whole game industry. And it's fucking terrifying how much impact we gamers have on which direction it goes.
Microsoft needs to lose this mindset of "we should be the only company you should be buying games from" mentality. Yes their conference was okay level, but this conference in particular has showed me that I should never buy their products because their not trustworthy. They can have the nicest or coolest CEO ever, but they still have learned nothing about this industry and what people expect out of them. And that's fucking pathetic.
difference. Sony didn't dedicate stage time to it. They'll reveal when it's ready and release it soon after. MS announced what is basically still a dream and saying it's coming out next fall.
Also just look at some of the threads. MS and their messaging is STILL all over the place.
He explains the reasoning behind confirming the existence of the Neo right there in the OP. Reading, it's enlightening.
But it also told people "don't bother buying the Xbox One S we just announced 30 minutes ago"
To be fair I think Sony are just starting to address this problem I think. This gen a lot/most of Sony's big games have had delays compounded by being revealed very early.
Watching Geoff Keighley interview all the devs with games in the conference and all were very firm in not giving a date. Not even a hint of year.
Hopefully by next E3 they'll have this issue sorted.
I for one, am completely shocked.
Considering half the stuff you announced last year won't be out for another 5 months or more this is an immensely ironic statement.
MS took the risk so future Neo buyers might change their minds and wait for Scorpio.

this didn't bother me at the time but in retrospect it's pretty hilarious. it's like Apple unveiling the iPhone 7 and then teasing the iPhone 8 within an hour of each other
This quote stood out
A release date for PlayStation 4 Neo has yet to be confirmed. House's reference to Apple, however, could suggest Sony has plans to release the console quickly following its reveal.
I think we are going to get announcement around August/September with release on October.
Scorpio is spec'd the way it is based on what microsoft was told they needed in the box for devs to hit 4k and VR. If they don't want to do 4k that's fine too. What's there to be confused about?
Sounds like he is hinting that when Sony announce Neo to the masses it will be available shortly afterwards.
There was a guy in the Giant Bomb Live that speculated and said that the Kojima project that he showed was one big analogy for the whole situation that Kojima had been in. The shackles that had been broken, the baby that was taken away from him.
I like to think of it as Kojima just announcing that he's back making games, rather than taking it as 'omg when is this gonna come out?'.
