Total bullshit. TOTAL.
MS' original plan was maximum monetization of the console which meant killing used games, forced inclusion of kinect, a $500 price, gimped performance, and shifting the focus away from gaming towards TV and integration into the Windows app ecosy;stem.
There is zero reason to believe that Sony was going to do this, and we know Nintendo didn't do anything like that. So even if there was a mole in eeither of those companies, what exactly was he going to be divulging? 8GBs? Driveclub delay? Nintendo releasing weak hardware with a gimmicky controller?
Actually, the paid online is the one thing that could have raised some ire But even that doesn't compare to what MS' braintrust attempted with x1. If there is a perception of the x1 as a mess of a product, that is because it is a mess of a product.
This rumour suggests there may have been reason.
