padib said: Internet peplz upset, IGN apologizes. Something tells me they would never apologize for an error related to Nintendo because the uproar wouldn't be the same. Some camps are, really, more vocal. And I'm not talking about Sony fans because there are nice ones, but there is a group of vocal cyber citizens who stand for Sony and can cause a news source as big as IGN to apologize. It's weird.

So  IGN shouldn't have apologized?

It was Sony themselves and ND developer that  called them out. Not just the fans.

This wasn't just some minor mishap. It was flatout trolling.  Their timing was horrible, and they said it was "official" as if confirmed by Sony. We are talking about the most anticipated game ever by Sony fans, 2 days before the supposed reveal.  

IGNs own reputation was on the line here. You simply don't drop major bombs like that and expect to get away with it.

To put the gravity of their mistake in persepective, it'd be like IGN claiming to  have official confirmation from Nintendo that they're going third party, when they really have none.     

don't overstate your case
