For about the billionth time Kotaku isn't credible, because their source vetting is a fucking joke. These are the same guys who took the words of SuperDae as gospel truth. That guy just isn't credible he is actually incredible. He has performed a number of crazy stunts, and made some outrageous claims. This is the guy that claims he was going to sell a 720 development kit over Ebay, but nobody has ever seen it, and apparently nobody has found out where he supposedly got it. Which is strange, because he also claims to have met representatives from Microsoft. Yeah he was so important they had to have a lunch date with him.

Not 100% true. 

Kotaku rumors should be taken with a grain of salt but theyve broken MAJOR stories and have some serious pull in gaming media.  They revealed Screenshots, artwork, and story details on MW3 months before it was even announced.  They were the first outlet to reveal Playstation Home.  In fact they breal news all the time.

Sometimes they are wrong but they definitley have some big connections

I only said they did a piss poor job of vetting their sources. They don't do enough due dilligence to determine the veracity of the claimant that is in fact providing them a story for them to reprint in their own words. As far as I am concerned you don't get a gold star for being a clearing house for educated specularion, and random roomers. Kotaku churns out so many stories, and posts so many rumors. That just by the laws of probability they are going to strike pay dirt from time to time.
