As I've apparently already done my bit accidentally disseminating Sony progaganda via yesterday's semantically and economically incorrect 'gap closing' story, I may as well look at some more PS3 hype - and anti-hype - doing the rounds at the moment.
Sony Computer Entertainment chief Kaz Hirai has confused and angered easily confused and angered gamers by stating that it's actually a good thing that developers aren't quite getting the most out of PS3 at the moment:
The power that we've packed into PS3 will really manifest itself in software titles that come up four, five or six years down the line.
"Now that's spin!" commented an Evil Avatar regular. "So all of the stories that have come out lately about how hard the PS3 is to develop for - including inferior PS3 ports, massive delays and even cancellations - that's all good news."
Similar ire has been aimed at Sony Liverpool. Someone at the studio has apparently been caught via WikiScanner tampering with the Halo 3 Wikipedia entry. The wiki-scamp made a small edit to suggest that the visuals won't be much improved from Halo 2. As Ars Technica points out, "as edits go, this was slight and had a credible source, but if I were working for any of the big three I'd be telling my employees to stay away from Wikipedia. It just doesn't look good when stuff like this comes out."
