Sure.. this could have been a publicity stunt by MS, but I don't see how it could benefit them. Don't get me wrong this will definitely get people talking about their new console, but it won't be in a good way. Negative press will only hurt them.

It can't hurt them if it's not true. On the contrary, it's setting a low bar for them to easily walk over. They'll announce and everyone will be ingratiated to them for not doing that.

Somehow I very much doubt it. Set the bar for what exactly? Sony has already laid their cards on the table by saying that the PS4 supports offline play.

There are two likely scenarios: 1) The guy was trolling, and the information is false. 2) He was just being a jackass and leaked the info.

If it does turn out to be false, I can see MS trying to spin it to work in their favour and make it sound like it was intended all along. If he was telling the truth they'd spin it as they see fit. I honestly do not see them going through with it, but hey I wouldn't be surprised if they did. After all, this is same company that made people think that its ok to pay for P2P online multiplayer.
