I think they didn't want to give Sony too much space and head start.

I really hope that's not aimed at CBOAT because if it is it's well out of order.

His bigger misses has been on the policy-related stuff, which we'll never know what the true story is due to all the 180s.
He's still pretty good though, the major ones from his last few sets still came true.
- launch countries reduced from 21 to 13 ( he didn't reveal this, but he put his shoe down on it.)
- launch will be later than PS4 launch.
The rest are mostly 'further-in-the-future' claims and stuff. :/
I've been in similar positions and told straight lies.
I've learned quick in my career that the internal rumor-mill is almost always the most ridiculous and the farthest from the truth.

it will happen 7 days later with Forza 5. Sorry to crush your console war dreams
Are we pretending that multinationals have any sort of loyalty towards their employees? Because they don't, so more power to CBOAT.
Microsoft has probably fed selective lies and tidbits to certain groups in an effort to smoke CBOAT out. He is smart enough to only report what isn't compartmentalized.

He also said PS4 was launching in October..

I think all those Achievement addicts will have a breakdown
Sony put out the exact TFLOPS ratings for the PS4, so, no - they haven't been tight-lipped and certainly haven't seen it necessary to upclock their significantly more powerful machine this late in the game.

If they aren't ready now, what makes you think they were ready a year ago?
I don't think the yields were ever heat related. Something to do with the Esram wafer efficiency from what I can remember. But no one really knows for sure.
Not that surprising a Microsoft employee was misinformed about a PS4 insider titbit.

It seems pretty evident at this stage that MS hugely underestimated Sony at nearly every turn.

What a disaster of epic proportion. Now they're going to have to write more blank checks to get exclusive games just to get people to notice this console. MS is not too smart with their money.

Can't this stupid console do anything right?
Sigh...it's so difficult right now to be an Xbox fan. Really, I'm more of a Halo fan than anything. But as stalwart as I have been up until this point, I'm really thinking of at least canceling my pre-order and waiting things out for a bit to see how things shake out. I kind of don't have the money for it anyway.
Sad panda.

Not at 60fps and that's also only for games built for current gen. You don't know what framebuffers will evolve into for next gen. Killzone Shadofall's tech slides from months ago showed a framebuffer of 40mb+. It may even be larger now.

It looks like a og 360, but then again, that was an awfully designed system.
At least it actually has a cooling solution this time though!

The PoP thing was a probably a Halo mistake, but yeah, who knows about the PS4 thing. I should have written "pretty much spot on." I'm a cboat skeptic myself, so it's not like I'm intentionally trying to spread misinformation. IMO, his credibility has slipped since E3, and the nature of his posts makes him seem a bit like a playground bully, so I doubt I'll ever be a cboat follower like some here. The posts are fun to follow, though.
Now we know that at least dedicated servers for Call of Duty is something that Mark Rubin literally cannot mention directly.
Yeah, the ps3 launch was just like this. Agent Phil knows how to launch consoles I guess.

It's just not going to be the last Xbox...I'm willing to go even farther.
If Xbox One doesn't perform very successfully the market, I expect Microsoft to just shut it down prematurely and get out of the console gaming market in one fell swoop.
When you look at the financials, Microsoft just hasn't been able to accomplish much with Xbox. Ballmer could write some of the frustration off to "growing the brand" and "expanding Microsoft's presence to the living room," but with investors focused on smartphones / tablets as the future, the Xbox One has to prove that it has built sufficient brand loyalty to actually be worthwhile for the company to keep around.
Lots of people work at IEB...lots of people that Microsoft could use in other, more profitable divisions.

Being underpowered is not particularly newsworthy -- however, if there are reliability issues, that's a colossal fuck up, especially after what they allegedly learned from the current generation.
However, I'm a little surprised that they would do these upclocks unless they were absolutely certain it wouldn't lead to problems. And I doubt we could be looking at over-heating issues -- the One is the size of a trailer home and the components are weaksauce. It has to be something else.

But the Powerpoint slides that MS shares with them wouldn't be.
And you're right on the 'off-the-record' stuff, there's always the possibility that you tell your 3rd-party people lies or half-truths.
But being in a similar position myself, I gravitate more towards truth than lies, because when we're in a 'deep shit' situation, we want the 3rd-parties to be even more aware, responsive and agile in responding to potentially bad situations that will arise from the internal team fucking up.
They will be able to play some Xbox one arcade games in 1080p I imagine.
He called DR3 a full year early, and nobody knew about WoT until the day of the announcement. Hell, I was working with one of the MS teams at the time and had no clue that it was coming to 360.
If the current generation is anything to go by, they will all be timed exclusives with the sequels being multi-plat from the get go.
Face it Tiger..

If you're a fan, and there're games that you'd like to play, I'd say keep your preorder, finances permitting.Sigh...it's so difficult right now to be an Xbox fan.

Was totally thinking the same thing. I must be too isolated to Neogaf to notice how people post on other forums.
Yeah, Xbox 4.

If they end up doing more of this and their sales go well. I'm worried that devs will just focus on the lowest common denominator and not push (stress) the better hardware at all

Basically you choose either 60 fps or 1080p for the Xbone in my opinion. Can't have both (except for Forza)
The big test will be what resolution Halo 5 and Titanfall are.
