@osc89 the os issue has been mentioned on vgchartz many times today and in more than one thread. It's clearly very important, at least to the people here.

Not really, when a PR guy says rumours are overblown instead of the usual "no comment" or "the rumours are false" it usually means that the rumours are true (at least for now). Overblown just means he doesn't want people to think that it's as big deal as the rumours make it out to be, but that there are real issues at play. In other words he is basically confirming that the rumours are true but that they don't think (or don't want people to think) it's as big an issue as people are making it out to be.

My policy with PR is usually everything is 75% as good as they say, and 50% worse depending on which direction they are trying to spin.

Microsoft PR doing damage control is not unexpected, so yeah. Take this "statement" with a pinch of salt.

So you don't care that you are paying a $100 more for a less powerful product? I don't think you can talk for all xbone fans anyway you don't care about it but others do.

Why power is so important now? Wii is far away behind PS360 and still can be a great game machine. People sometimes forget what really matters: fun

No its bull

Kinect is far better then what sony is bringing to the table, nothing. 

As long as I'm still wondering where the usual "Stopping reading at the word NeoGAF" postings are, I will use the time to point out that Penello pretty much just uses a lot of words to say: "I just don't want to comment on certain rumors".

"VIel reden, nichts sagen" as we'd say in german.

^ This.

Btw, many people still don't seem to understand that in propaganda/public relations, the real/interesting information is usually not what's being said, but what's NOT being said.
