Hmm, that's certainly very interesting news. Yet another insider claiming DF's numbers or fudged or outdated. I'm just going to continue to believe we'll end up with 6GB dedicated to gaming and 2GB for all OS features. I also believe Sony has declined commenting on numbers, because they're simply not finalized yet, or they're hoping to reveal more OS features at Gamescom. Either way, I can't wait for Gamescom, because by then all Sony execs will be grilled for detailed numbers about the system, and we should have our clear answer by then.
This whole deal of Sony playing coy reminds me of the whole E3 DRM controversy. They could easily be waiting to make the most impact with their announcement. I mean, even MS wanted to sit on their good indie support news, until Gamescom. Doesn't seem out of the question that both companies are withholding more than just games to announce.
This isn't like DRM, though. It's only a major news story for the console warriors on both sides. Announcing it to be false wouldn't have close to the same effect that the DRM/Used games announcement had. Indie announcement seems more important to me. Where there's smoke, there's fire, though. DF's story may not have the numbers right, but there must be some truth to it based on what the NeoGAF insiders have said.
EDIT: Btw, does the possible large RAM allocation for the OS point to Sony maybe having intended to include the PS Eye in every box? The light features on the controller as well.
