"It will take a lot more than this "fiasco" to get me to switch to the PS4."

I guess they must really like Halo and Gears.

Except in the wonderful wonderful world of the VGC, Neogaf and N4g forum.

I wouldn't think to much of that. The other people, even Michael Pachter, probably have better sources and they haven't talked about this.
