Sony wasn’t expecting Microsoft to reveal Project Scorpio this week at E3, as SCE President Andrew House confessed he was "surprised" by the timing of the announcement.
"I was surprised by the step of announcing something over a year ahead of time," House told The Guardian, pointing out that "there’s a much heavier emphasis on immediate gratification than there was," citing Apple’s "available now" approach as main reason why that is the case.
