What backlash? Sony is in the driver's seat this generation. Why would they intentionally take a bat to their kneecaps this early in the year when they can take their time and unveil it later? The pressure is on MS to unveil Scorpio and reboot their generation as soon as possible, not Sony. Also, this doesn't confirm anything. If production is currently going on, they can reveal it at Gamescom and still be ready for a holiday season launch.
I think Sony will delay it till early next year IMHO. Simply because PSVR will be given the limelight this year. Also gives Sony more time to have more Neo Mode games ready.
Also Sony are leading they don't need to rush out at the moment. They will probably try to match the Scorpio specs I think.
