The part I was saying he nailed is the way that all these 'rumours' are tailed with , 'but I could be wrong' which lends no authority to what they are saying one way or the other. If at launch it works fine, people will say 'well he said it might not be true'.
It may very well be true, but just say one way or the other.
Nothing is a fixed point. The issues stated are from the perspective of multiple people in multiple positions. They are all based on each individuals knowledge of the subject at that present moment.
There is plently room for things to get misinterpreted even amongst devs. Its fair to say "I may be wrong" but hang your rep (and your account) on the line.
It boils down to this. If GAFs insiders are all wrong, all wrong, they will be banned and permabanned and the little damage amongst forum goers will be quickly reversed and forgotten.
If Microsoft has the perfect and well executed product you think they do, it will be evident minute zero, day 1. Thats worth more in marketing dollars than a billion major nelsons.
If they don't and there is truth to what is being said here it will spread to the mainstream and thats when Microsoft has to worry.
A few hundred Gaf cancelled preorders (pending further info) are not going to hurt them in the slightest. If these people do want an xbone and it is proven to work as designed they will quickly pick one up close to launch.
And believe it or not, I beleive for the vast majority of people with an X1 preorder, even if the box was rumoured to release saccharin gas upon booting up, they still want an xbox one and will still will get one. If you havent cancelled before reading this latest leak, you arent going to even if you bitch and whine in this thread. Likewise with the PS4.
So if false this doesnt affect anything in the real world. Stop stressing about it.
