@Chris
In reply to your comment Chris and with respect mate,
Whilst I can certainly see where you're coming from with the sentiment of your reply, I absolutely do not agree with your observation that reports are raised solely due to the articles being based on anonymous sources and in line with N4G's rules.
I have personally seen multiple examples of users repeatedly report rumour based submissions from anon sources that they do...

**"I honestly thought people would be totally for it"**
I'm 100% behind you on this, #2 option all the way, as you quite rightly say everyone knows about them already and some articles (DF GitHub leaks for example) are failed under the current system when they clearly show multiple truthful elements to the story and are verified by DF themselves.
Bloomberg's article today is another great example - the sources ...
2.
I absolutely believe that rumours (as long as they originate from a credible outlet) and are clearly marked as such SHOULD be allowed.
So far N4G has not covered or discussed in any detail the excellent piece from DF that originated from two very credible sources Komachi Ensaka and Rogame, they may not be well known on N4G but for people that follow they are extremely credible.
Bloomberg (I suspect the catalyst of today's user po...

I think you missed the point.

“ Sony’s Chief Executive Officer Kenichiro Yoshida has said the business should be judged by the number of active users, not the number of hardware units sold. ”

No. I've heard time and again that MAU's are NOT a legitimate way to assess how well a business is doing - only units shipped count Mr ...

**"Xbone financial results are in line with PS4? Is that what are you saying? What are you smoking?"**
Both PlayStation and Xbox reported a YoY decline in revenue of around 20%. In this way PS4 is in line with Xbox One, you really need to work on your reading comprehension.

@gravedigger
Razzer is absolutely correct in everything he's stated, he's presented a fair, unbiased and realistic opinion with pretty much everything he's written, he did the same last week when Xbox reported financial results in line with this report from Sony.
You just don't like it, because it makes you and the comment you've made look foolish.

**"I love this game on wiiu. It only seems right that it get remastered before it gets a Wonderful 102"**
Fully with you on this Darth. The Wii U had many hidden gems and brilliant exclusives that for the most part went unplayed due to poor sales of the console, it's good to see these games getting a new lease of life on Switch, and now PS4 with the wonderful 101.
@Thundercat
Interested to hear how you'll rationalise and justify Sony's latest financial statement released yesterday in light of your previous comments....

Razzer was right.

**"Actually, games sales and sales of services should be peaking while console saturation"**
That's not how subscription based services work at all.
You cut off the profit peaks (and the lows) and replace with a flat profit that grows over time with your subscriber base with this model.
Business 101.

**"What I said was facts"**
Facts, Yes. Relevent, No.
**"now keep your mouth shut 😄"**
Again, the fact that cannot hold a debate and instead write things like this, only serve to make you appear more childish and less likely to be taken seriously by any sane individual.
@Henry
**"The Switch already passed up the Xbox one world wide 😁"**
Yes it did, 50 million in half the time it took the X1 to sell the same ...So what's your point?
I don't do console wars Captain. I don't care about your personal feelings towards an inanimate plastic box.
Try and keep on topic without feeling you have to bring up MS any time you cannot hold a debate - it makes you look l...
@Captain
**"Nintendo Switch says HI too"**
Yeah, your comment kinda makes my point for me.
The Switch has many of the Wii U's exclusives re-released for the platform, one console only sold 13 million, the other is currently outselling the PS4 within the same timeframe.
So exclusives alone are not what sells consoles, good job making my point for me Captain lol.
@Captain
**"Shouldn't the PC and PS4 be tagged in this article?"**
No.
The author is sharing his opinion about the Xbox One version of the Beta and not the PC or PlayStation version(s).
@Emilio
I agree,
It's certainly a bit of a minefield to negotiate - The idea of sorting out who is credible or not is not an enviable task in itself, whilst I like the idea of #2 personally (if only to make for more interesting discussion and promote a wider array of articles on the site) I can fully understand the sentiment behind keeping things as they are.
#1 would be unworkable, if rumours from sources such as Tidux etc were al...
