I believe Bloomberg, they were also correct on the Switch Pro 4k

What is that nickname ?
It's a LONG story
Pun intended. Lol but seriously it's a reference to a weapon on a game I developed a while ago
You hook up your switch on a TV with 4k upscalling and voilá, they didn't lie kkkkkkkkkkkkk
Kayak looks insane on the vr2. Really am tempted now.
I rather believe official sources than hearsay rumors.
Nice. I had to double check. For some reason I thought I was on a backorder list but it says I should have it between the 22nd and 28th. :)
Sony apparently did lowered their internal projections following week preorders.
The “journalist” that started the rumor has a pretty long track record of being wrong.
No he doesn't. He has a long career of reporting for massive acctual journalistic publications like the wall street journal in addition to recently blomberg. That immediately puts him at a far higher calibur of integrity and merit than ANY games journalist. bloomberg is a massive paywalled publication that markets to those within the business sector. they don't publish random rumors. how journalism works is if it is being reported then there is a source on the inside that is saying it. It's not an analyst guessing.
If you want to bring up the switch pro reports the devs kits mentioned were absolutely certainly a thing. multiple sources have corraberated that at this point and not just those from blomberg.
Fascinating.
So the author is Takashi Mochizuki. So far he has reported on
- PS5 production numbers cut - False. Corrected by Sony.
- Nintendo OLED profit margins -False. Corrected by Nintendo.
- Microsoft acquiring a Japanese developer -False. Corrected by Microsoft.
-
Sony stopping PS4 production - False. Corrected by...well the simple fact the PS4 has not stopped production.
He's starting to build up a greatest hits collection. Integrity and merit go out the window in journalism when you start to push rumours as truth to generate views. Anything he reports on, should be taken with a mountain of salt.
