He writes the way he does, to hide his posting style. He is an insider. He knows his shit.

Roughly translates to...

"Mods, you can remove "rumor" from the title. ESRAM yields are "troubling", to put it lightly.

This is factual truth.

Btw, you won't hear tech talk at MS' conference. And the tech cannot change at this point. They're stuck with it.

MS rushed, they were caught off guard by Sony, due to a failure in leadership."

Ok, yield problems - costs money for ms, might lead for shortages with launch.

Caught off-guard? In what way? They had the hardware fixed quite early.

Tech was wrong from the start. He references a "tarbaby"  From Br'er Rabbit and Br'er fox tales.

In one tale, Br'er Fox constructs a doll out of a lump of tar and dresses it with some clothes. When Br'er Rabbit comes along he addresses the tar "baby" amiably, but receives no response. Br'er Rabbit becomes offended by what he perceives as the Tar-Baby's lack of manners, punches it, and in doing so becomes stuck. The more Br'er Rabbit punches and kicks the tar "baby" out of rage, the worse he gets stuck.

So it seems they're having some big problems. Crazy Buttocks knows his stuff.

So basically the RAM I guess. Sony gambled on 8gig GDDR5 being affordable by 2013 and it payed off.
