No, you think it was a fact. The only factual information, that you or I know, is the PS4 has 8GB of GDDR5 and it was kept secret. All else is pintless to debate since you don't know it for sure.

Look at the rumored PS4 specs from VgLeaks, and look at the offical ones released by Sony.

THEY ARE 99% identical. The only difference is that VgLeaks listed 4GB instead of 8GB. What happened here? Sony had recently upgraded dev kits and announced it to the public before any devs even had the chance to receive them. LEAKS COME FROM DEVELOPERS WHO HAVE THE HARDWARE.

More proof that these leaks(Yes, leaks, not rumors) are true is how surprised developers were. They went on the record saying they were very surprised with the 8GB of RAM.

In other words, you're saying the NextBox's rumored, yes RUMORED, features are for sure? 

Not rumors, leaks. There is a difference. These leaked specs we got are LEAKS. They are backed by reliable sources on a credible website.

These aren't just some made up rumors on some blog. They are leaks. LEAKS. L.E.A.K.S.

You can remain at the top of that mountain shouting "leaks" all you want, it is irrelevant. Plenty of things get "leaked" only to be invalidated later. Some of the PS4's specs may have been revealed early on, sure, but that means nothing to what I said to SuperChunk. The 4GB rumor turned out to be nothing more than a rumor.

NO, not "some". All.
The only problem with the PS4 leaks was they were a few weeks outdated and the RAM had been upgraded to 8GB. That's it. Every other detail and specs was correct.

The 4GB LEAK was true. If you go to some developers, I'm sure some of them still have some 4GB dev kits. These consoles started off as PCs with components that they are targeting for the final product. These developer kits start off weak. Keep in mind that some developers may get kits years in advance. The closer it gets to release, the better these specs usually get. Here's a prodcut roadmap documenting the PS4 devkits evolution http://www.vgleaks.com/orbis-devkits-roadmaptypes/

You see that last dev kit there? It mentions 8GB for dev kits, 4GB for retail. Looks like they changed their minds. 

You have to understand that some of these decisions can be made overnight. Leaks happen, some things can change, most of them don't. What you see is what you get. I guarantee you the Xbox 720 LEAKS are real.
