Sony were smoking out Microsoft. They probably got wind that M$ were upto something, and put out some vague specs to see what cards M$ had. M$ being who they are, and still smarting from the last time that Sony pulled this trick on them, duly took the bait. Neo will be some sort of PS4 slim model. Now that Sony know what the next console from M$ will be, they can take the time to kill off whatever M$ has to offer. Who cares if it releases six to eight months later, Sony just need to start the hype train rolling, just before the release of Scorpio, and M$ will have fallen for the Sony tricks two times in a row. Sony want to Bury M$, there is no way one God's green earth that they will ever allow M$ to release a console, more powerful than any Playstation.
