Apparently this was also the first place to report it and the one you reportied it from got it from them. At least thats what I got form the comments.

I usually get the Nintendo news from mynintendonews.com, lots of trolls there

it's not like it's shocking to hear of journalists doing that, about on par with papers with headlines of Check out some Hot summer tits, only to have a 4 page pull out suplement on the birds of summer. Stupid headlines sell... or get advertising revenue.

Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

Yeah, there's a difference in shoddy journalism due to a lack of knowledge and fact checking (like the recent article on Bloomberg Businessweek regarding 360 sales), and Eurogamer intentionally twisting words for their headline to suit their own agenda. Fail.
