Sony has given an update on earlier reports that Amazon Spain accidentally listed PS4 NEO release date and price. According to a representative from Sony Entertainment, the listing was supposed to be for PlayStation VR headset.
A listing was spotted on Amazon Spain website, revealing a price of €399.99 ($442) and the same release date as the PlayStation VR. However, the price for PS4 NEO has been scrapped from the website. Sony is yet to confirm any retail information for the new console.
According to the tech giant, there was poor choice of words that resulted into it being misconceived as the PS4 NEO. Therefore, both the release date and price for the new console are false and should not be considered as leak of new information.
Paul Raines, the CEO of GameStop, had an interview with CNBC, covering when the PS4 NEO might be released. Raines dished on the new devices that would be launched after the release of the new "Pokémon GO" mobile title after he was asked about what else fans should expect in the upcoming holiday season.
"Yes, there will be a new Nintendo console launch in March 2017," Raines said. "But remember, there are two different form factors: a PS4 Neo and an Xbox One new slim version. So there will be some activity and upgrades, along with the VR."
GameStop has ever come out to clarify that Raines was not talking about the release window for PS4 NEO console. As a result, the CEO did not give a reference to the timing of the new console launch.
Sony confirmed the PS4 NEO ahead of the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2016. However, the tech giant did not display the new device during the event and the company is expected to provide new information either at the Tokyo Game Show or Gamescom, according to Express UK.
Based on recent reports, Sony is supposed to reveal a PS4 Slim console in the upcoming weeks. At the same time, Microsoft will reveal its plans for the Xbox One S.
The first news on the new console should come out at the Tokyo Game Show. However, Sony is yet to confirm the existence of PS4 NEO and therefore, this information should be taken with a grain of salt.
