It's called FUD.
You spread it by leaking false information, which then riles up the media which then hits websites.
You said "why post there when he could post somewhere he is taken seriously".
Believe me, he is being taken far more seriously posting there. Just look at how much attention his post has gotten.
Remember, this was leaked to the press.
Key ways to tell it's fake:
1. he refers to his job as PlayStation, not sony america, or even the proper name of the division.
2. He calls it orbis, when the latest news was that it was called omni.
3. He says that playstation is getting casualized and not focusing on the core, yet this coming year has about 6 high-production games coming out...and things like wonderbook are gaining in sales.

It's not that harf to tell.

Well true, but I still don't think that the reviewers intention was to give the PS4 a bad name. In fact, his review was made more reliable when he tgive advice to Sony. And I certainly don't think he would have expected his post to gain so much attention. The reason it probably has become popular is because lots of people are trying to get any new information on these new consoles. Similarly, when Microsoft gave ads for its next Xbox (at the time called "Durango"), lots of sites reported it, but I certainly don't think Micrsoft expected it to become such a popular story. 

And although I agree with your points, some of those points can be easily explained. 

1.Maybe he doesn't want Sony to know exactly who he is exactly. 

2. Maybe when he was working for Sony, that was what it was called. 


every release of information is an attempt to gain coverage, regardless of its expected success.

You also can't rationalize this with psychology, mate. Behavior is not appropriately reasoned with base-level readings.

Another thing, there is clearly no actual review of the job. There is no attention paid to actual details or employment quality, just that management has a bad strategy for the future of playstation, and will not sell well.

If you cannot see that this is fake, well, it's going to be impossible to convince you. Neither side here can reliably say exactly what he is, other than he's psychological analysis.
