This is exactly how I felt when I started reading this thread. Everyone on Kotaku, a much more balanced site, saw right through this statement as damage control/pressure from MS to make everything seem peachy. However, everyone here believes the second statement from the company as if the first statement had never been made in the first place because the first statement suggests that DVD is not enough for this generation, thereby validating Sony's decision to go with Blu-Ray.
And if "creative" development techniques can completely cope with size limitations, why did we go to DVD in the first place?
Edit - soccerdrew, I thought you were talking about THIS article. Read the comments, even the person who wrote the piece thinks Bizarre is full of BS.

We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
