Stories related to this were also all around the web. Like almost always Sony didn't respond to such rumours:

There's a long list of very bad reporting with mass coverage and wrong data from leading US press, like CNN, Wall Street Journal, Forbes, etc. Not to mention all the FUD and misinformation being widely covered on gaming dedicated US websites.
