Why would they confirm or deny something in a random press release.

You equate information by employee that is driving away customers with a "random press release"?  Any company that would do a press release like this would fire their customer relations management for putting that out.

Fine it's not random still why would they confirm it in a press release?

That was on Major Nelson's blog.  Major Nelson is community and major mouthpiece and voice to the XBox community.  It makes sense that he is one of the sources to announce this.  When you want something slightly undder to the world, that is meant to calm the XBox community from panic, you have him do it.

And I read what you wrote as Microsoft responding to some sort of random press release.  What was said by Orthy isn't some sort of press release, but the opinions of one manager in their company, that showed signs of how Microsoft is thinking actually, which is troubling.  This concern is why they decided to have Major Nelso speak, and say nothing... outside of not confirm it.  I am sure Microsoft is floating trial balloons out there regarding this.  Consider Orthy a trial balloon.

That's why he will be fired,i bet

I don't think MS have any tolerate for that,he just maybe ruined MS's announce plan and make MS on a very bad position
