but when Airbus launched the NEO it was selling like hotcakes, totally outclassed the existing 737-7/8/900
Embraer deal looking a bit silly at this point.

Only if you focus on the aircraft portfolio - but they've bought a proven design and manufacturing capability & capacity in a (relatively) low cost country in a similar time zone........ beats the hell out of building up in (say) China
