In all seriousness, did anyone actually believe this rumor, all things considered? other than the obvious blind fanboys i mean?, are there any level headed xbox users who thought 'actually given the announced specs, unit price and retail price more ram doesnt make much sense'?
whats obvious to me is that the site is fishing for hits, playing roulette with luck, think of it this way, anonymous sources mean bo accountability, 70% certainty is enough to get peoples juices flowing but low enough to say 'oh well' if it doesnt happen, they make this claim and their hits explode for a while, if its found to be false then 'hey we got it wrong' but still benefitted in a spike in his and ad revenue, but if it somehow does happen, even if it was only a guess on their part, they get the benefit of being linked the globe over as the source of the initial news, hits explode again, revenue explodes, links to their site increase exponentially.
With that in mind you see why gaming sites have such a compelling reason to post these sorts of articles even if the author knows it to be 100% guess work, because they have no real negatives from doing it especially if theyre a small site, and fanboys the world over lap it up for fun.
