Well there would still be a credibility issue in the sense that whenever he announces something, he'd get tons of comments asking if "insert company" is paying him again to give false information.
You know how the gaming community is. This thing would blow up in his face and ppl won't forget for years.

Another posibility is that MS intentionally leaked fake info, knowing someone credible would leak it. But that would be a dick move, since it was only 5 hours away from the press conference.

Yeah i do agree with the credibility issue and how gamers wont forget, i mean just look at the Doritos and MT Dew meme thats still alive to this day (i swear i found tons of other "new" ones from where i got that one), that being said i think its kind of the latter case that you explained which may indeed be a dick move but it would help them impress people when they reveal a 399 price tag.

But again thats just me being positive for MS since honestly i have no intention of buying one.
