Very clever.
Make a US based annoucement. Have western press there. Announce clearly spec price details and upgrade plans. Have journos that can't go to TGS play improved game and upcoming games.
Then 2 weeks later, have it in japan, have japanese game on the floor.
two events for both western and japan. Pretty clever

I can see why some would think that, especially at the start, but the console has some of Nintendos best titles (or at least very good) in their biggest series - Smash, MK, 3D Mario, 2D Mario. The only major one missing is Zelda. I'd say they did pretty well by their core fans (until this year which is a baron wasteland of software) and that's just their biggest releases.
Anyway, this isn't really the thread for it. I just meant that a focus on directs has made Nintendos market more and more insular without any potential growth and if they continue this way with the NX it may make them struggle still.

It'll be called PS4X. Just enough of a change to show variation from the standard PS4, and a nice throwback to the "PSX" moniker of old.
uh, how is it anything like that? If you already have a PC, and you aren't crazy about exclusives, why would you buy the neo?It's like saying to someone who has a Galaxy S6 that there is no reason to get the S7 or HTC M9 to get the HTC 10.
I'm close to selling my NEX 6 camera to get an A6000. Is it a big jump or improvement? No, i just need new shiny,upgraded stuff. There are a lot of us out there
Well, if Sony doesn't put in 5 Ghz WIFI, fuck'em !

So you are saying, only Sony exclusives will use the more power? In the long run?
There are also a lot of people here who have beefy PC rigs and still buy games on XB1/PS4.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
To be fair WWDC is for devs.
So if we are talking consumer facing events then usually nobody has anything they are gonna show in Sept to go up against an iPhone announcement in the West.
This year is unique in this regard.
Do I think I am entitled no.. do I think its good businessn pratice.. yes.
I think the thing that really burned me on this feeling is how when MS announced the scorpion and its timeframe some sony guy has the nerve to be like yeah they shouldnt do that.
watttt.. after they hushly announcing neo is real to those of us in the know. Yeah that just comes off as shity. This is my opnion though. Im not a huge corporation.. yadda yadda
you are kinda reinforcing what I am saying.
Being all hush hush to a minority of consumers while keeping everyone else in the dark just seems shady to me.

Why the question mark, its 100% guaranteed to be 4TF, the shock would be if its over 5TF.

Then again, it's because we're close to it that it's plausible. The closer you get, the easier you get leaks. One year ago, it would've been a crazy leak from really close source. At this point ? Your source can come from a retailer or a PR.

That would not shock me. I will be shocked if the official specs are basically the same as the leaked specs.

I don't have a PS4 yet but I want one so I might as well get the NEO.

Neo is weaker than Scorpio so Microsoft got that and the same month as the anticipated NX so Nintendo got that. good luck Sony.

Nope.
Makes sense and in line with the date we expected.
September announced with late September or early October release.
The dude I originally quoted said he'd have to justify the price if he ended buying one so I'm assuming he's not one of those people.
Point is I'm saying it doesn't make sense to buy this console if you're already playing 3rd parties elsewhere and you don't care about the exclusive games, but that's just me.

Somehow I don't think the target audience for Neo and NX are quite the same.

My wallet can't afford this and the PSVR. Sony please be considerate.

NX Tegra will be reveled by nVidia this month in two weeks... about the NX itself I don't known but rumors says September too.
I'm really interested to see how they pitch this in their conference. What's their reasoning behind it. I know Andrew House has already given a brief overview of why we're getting this and what it will do, but it will be cool to hear the official public messaging on it.
I cannot wait to see the console design, if it indeed even changes at all. I'd imagine the new internals will sort of demand a redesign of some sort, but will it shrink or be bigger, will it maintain the same design language or be something totally different? Can't wait to find out.
Last of all I'm looking forward to seeing how it actually performs, hopefully quicker UI on the main menu, faster switching between apps and loading up the Share menu etc. And then finally games, I hope the improved visuals for some already existing titles will blow us away. I have a feeling they will. I'm imagining my favourite games now boasting super smooth ant aliasing and rock solid frame rates, I see that as the benefit of the Neo being tied to the base system, games will need to run well as they do now on PS4, and the zneo can just tip things over the edge. Not much excuse for stuttering frame rates or screen tear if the game runs well enough on base PS4.

I love Sony hardware design, even had a Walkman MP3 over iPod up until smartphones became too mainstream to ignore
Hope the UI gets freshened up as well

Are you equally invested in complaining about all the shady shit other video game companies partake in? Doesn't seem like it. Seems to me like you're a staunch PC/Nintendo guy who likes shitting on Sony at every opportunity.
And why do you care whether or not Sony sheds more light on the Neo anyway? This post you made last month seems to fly in the face of any interest you have in the PS ecosystem anymore.

I imagine it is also because Japan isn't as core a market for home console these days.
PS is a very global brand, I think they can hit all the big territories
I'm not even sure what this is supposed to mean. MS just released a more expensive machine that is still weaker than the PS4...and that's selling quite well apparently. And Neo will have ~9 months+ head start - much like the X360 did on the 'more powerful' PS3.
So yeah, what's your point!?
