Looking at the majority of the top stories on sites like IGN and Gamespot, I am baffled. They are all rumors about the PS4, and they all contradict each other. One says the PS4 will be $500, one says $430. Others claim various things ranging from a smartglass type service, streaming PS3 games, and release dates.
What I want to ask is why? The thing is being announced tomorrow. Why bother publishing all these fucking rumors, which there have been tons of since the conference was announced, when we'll have actual concrete info tomorrow? Are they just trying to get as many bad predictions published before we have real info?
As someone that has been trying to get into game journalism, this is a part of that really turns me off. The focus seems to be more about generating clicks rather than providing actual worthwhile content, which is an insult to the readers, and I wish it didn't work. That's another reason why I love the way Giant Bomb operates.
So, what do you guys think? Are you sick of all these damn rumors or are you one of those that wants every piece of information you can get, whether it's true or not?
