I don't want to make a new thread (and I don't think anyone should because it's just a rumor and there's no evidence... though I am king of no man/woman), but I thought that the somewhat calmer and rational people in this thread would appreciate this:

Like I said, it's a rumor, so not a big deal. Seems to be around what we're thinking for XB1 as well.
Just heard this on the podcast as well. Came on here to post, but see it has already been mentioned. Mary Jo has good sources in MS btw.
