Senior editor of verge just said that the info on the 'stingray' is very wrong

Him and also John Harker (another use who provides sales data etc over at gaf) said it will all be revealed in May..the verge editor actually said May 21st

Yeah May 21st has been popping up a lot lately.  I also just heard that the guy who made the tweets (Can't remember his name) is an unkown at the moment.  apparently somebody well known at MSFT said over twitter they didn't even know who he was.  My friend was telling me about it over steam.  I have been trying to find out the who said it but he thinks it was Aaron Greenberg.

Who knows, rumors could be true, maybe not but we will see soon enough.

Yep it was Greenberg, saw him tweet that myself. He apologized to someone who was offended by the orth remarks and said he didn't even know who it was. To be fair tho, Orth is one of the creative directors at MS Studios. Linkdin says they have three (they most likely have more). So not exactly an unknown...maybe he goes by his nik name 'Sweet Billy'..no I kid you not that's his nikname. It would be kind of weird if Greenberg didn't know the guy
