The last time The Nerd Stash covered PlayStation Neo news, it was amid the console’s spec leaks, and it was to say that Neo is possibly one of the worst kept secrets in the gaming industry this year. Now, Gameblog, a popular French gaming news website, is all but confirming this. They have reported new rumors concerning the PlayStation 4 Slim and PlayStation Neo, stating that they will be unveiled at a special PlayStation event in New York City on September 7, 2016.

Announcing the Neo and PS4 Slim early may be a smart move on Sony’s part, if they are looking to steal a bit of Nintendo’s fire.
Either way, the next few weeks are sure to be filled with even more Neo news, and you’ll want to stay tuned to The Nerd Stash for coverage!
