If a rumor doesn't pan out there's no real consequences or downside, so what does it matter if people want to believe it or discuss it? There's no harm done.

I simply don't find it plausible that Nate could have called so much correctly without a source, so I'm prepared to put enough stock in this to discuss it for fun, it's really that simple.

The harm is that facts will often be swamped by rumors, opinions or speculation.
It also hypes up peoples expectations... And when those expectations aren't met? People are let down.
We need Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft to be the best they can be for competitive reasons that benefit us, the consumer.

We live in an era where misinformation rules supreme and the onus is on us to put an end to it.

If people want to get hyped up that's their choice, they can decide for themselves whether they want to risk being let down.

We can't rule this out as misinformation at this point because it could be true.
