Nice, I wonder how much was Konami saying "do this" and Kojima having no choice.

I heard that this news was fake. Created to stir up Sony Fanboys.

Well if its fake someone did a nice job faking it. Looks like an official press release to me.

well i doubt its fake for 1 reason the price of the console is too high and its hindering sales add the fact that they are losing well over 200 a unit so cutting the price is pretty much not do able so companys like konami are starting to think sony may not be number 1 this time so their software strategy shifts accordinly
