“I especially hate when the free games are games I can play on my iphone”.
New details about the PS4 Neo will be revealed later this month and the PlayStation Slim should be given a release date in September. Why would Sony let Microsoft generate all the hype, and potentially steal interest away from their product?
Writing on Twitter, Spencer mentioned that some people believed Microsoft’s announcement of the new Xbox console, Scorpio, might impact Xbox S sales, but apparently that hasn’t been the case. Even though Microsoft will jump around using that wording, it nearly represents a full generational jump over the Xbox One.
The PS4 NEO, on the other hand, is decidedly not that.
After the statement spread like wildfire online, GameStop PR rectified the issue with a statement: “Paul did not say that Xbox One S and PlayStation Neo hardware units would be coming for the holidays”.
