Well I think the statement is pretty good and of course not give anything about the Nextbox (like expected too).

About the "always-on connection" I think MS did test with this feature but in no way it will go to consumers home into Nextbox.

Im sure PlayStation Universe are already working on a spin.

he didn't confirm or deny anything so....

Buy are they need confirm or deny? I don't think so.

I just expected some damage control something.

Why would they confirm or deny something in a random press release.

Typical corporate statement, nobody should expect them to clear things up on an unannounced product.

Interesting!!!

....what?

Notice he doesn't deny the always-on rumor which is the bigger problem than the comments of this stupid employee.
