PlayStation Neo will reportedly have an early September reveal

Here come the hardware revisions

Next month’s Tokyo Game Show would be an opportune time and place for Sony to show off its enhanced PlayStation 4 console, codenamed Neo, but based on reporting today, the reveal might happen as early as September 7.

Multiple sources have indicated to Gameblog and VICE Gaming that Sony is building toward a September showcase event in New York. It’s also believed that finalized development kits will be sent out around this time.

While much has leaked regarding the more-powerful console, officially, Sony has said little about it. Notably, Neo skipped E3 2016 in June so that the company would “have a full range of the best experiences on the new system that we can showcase in their entirety,” according to Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Andrew House. All we got was a quick pre-show mention.

Smoother-running PS4 games will be nice, generally speaking, but I don’t know that they’ll be nice enough to justify another several-hundred-dollar purchase. I’m most curious to see exactly how much Neo will affect PlayStation VR — that’s where things start to get tricky for me.
