For what is worth, he was acknowledged in youtube comments by both Jim Sterling and TotalBiscuit We get that it is a rumour, but it looks like plausible one. Not the transcript word by word, but Konami other bussiness indicate a company averse to risk, huge upfront budgets and big development cycles. Even Ground Zeroes makes more sense in this scenario, as a way to "kickstart" the real game with a $30 demo. Obviously we will never knor for sure, but the guy was more informative than most gaming press about the case.

I doubt those have any access to Japanese sources as well, or any Westerner for that matter. Unless there were Americans/Europeans working at Konami in Japan and one of them was in a position to know this info and leaked it using language gamers use. "last thing he needs are people cancelling pre-orders" suggests he doesn't even work at Konami.
The thing is these rumours pop up right after some bad shit happens, and the faster the rumour surfaces the less likely it is to be true and written in the heat of the moment to add fuel to the drama, and this one came as fast as they could showing up mere hours after the announcement.
There's obviously stuff going on there, I just refuse to believe it has anything to do with this rumour.
