Lots of media sources are in the back pockets of Microsoft, especially some websites and news media, whom some are willing to stretch truths and some even outright lie and/or fabricate statements.

This is part of Microsoft's agenda, as it learned years ago, that in order to secure good standing, having good PR tell you their product(s) and agendas are good and nonthreatening (in such cases as anti trust issues), that's actually half the battle.  So over the last 10 to 15 yars, Microsoft has invested in "paid hands" in media circles to make what they true, in a perception meets reality paradigm.

Microsoft beats both Sony and Nintendo in the perception is reality front.....no game is even required on MS's end.

Actually there was a somewhat recent SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS article about it, pertaining specifically to Microsoft's own Antitrust issues, and their fight against Google....

here it is:

it's an interesting read if you have time.

All the major companies do it to some degree....some are more blatent than others though.
