It's already pretty clear what the problem is, talked about it here:
http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=170889&page=1#
They are not being sent PS4's/Review copies in advance and are being expected to attend a review event. Some of them (including Sess) is pretty angry about it.
MS and Sony are about to launch their consoles, with lots of Dollars spent and some entitled Journo's are upset because they haven't got their free consoles and games yet. Marcus has already moaned that he hasn't played on/seen a retail box. Others have but because they haven't they are pissy about it.
To be honest I am getting sick and tired of their childish twitter - won't say but will allude to it crap. Don't want to go to the review event, fine don't go, wait till the consoles come out, buy it with all the money you make from your job and then do your own reviews. Not really a problem. It's not like Sony/MS will be doing this for long once the consoles are out.
Also its quite clear the problem is that *some* sites have equipment and have the games (as were expecting a PS4 AC videos/reviews next week), it seems Sony isn't mass sending out equipment at this point, and some smaller sites/reviewers are not happy about that because they are not on the list (would guess Sess and Marcus are two of them).
Not sure about what MS are doing, but they are waiting for at least another week by the sounds of things.

It's what it sounds like. I don't blame them for being upset about having to review a game in a group environment in a short amount of time, but the game journalists could get integrity and wait till the console comes out to review it like everyone else will. Review events aren't a new phenomenon, especially to a veteran like Sessler. I too am tired of their childish, "Ooh I'm so hurt by this, but I can't say what's going on" tweets. Either go to the event and don't complain or don't go to the event and review the PS4 when you get it. And for the love of God, don't tweet about something you can't talk about.
It'd be easier to get where they're coming from if they confirmed what the issue was. Maybe this isn't even what the issue is.
