Indeed. And in this case, you’re comparing against a person that claims inside knowledge vs one that is acknowledging that they’re speculating.
One would assume he's got good insider sources though, notably devs telling him XBSX is faster. And 'IGN Editor' is someone people know is presently active with active, current contacts.
On the flip side, I'm surprised IGN Japan even knows what an 'XBox' is.
When insecurities prevent honest discourse...When banned trolls are more trusted then anything else....
Google translate says they are aiming higher according to the IGN editor. But that may not have been the translation. So just a heads up in-case it switches at a later time.
It didn't seem like the IGN editor had sources saying that ti's more powerful though.

We can't really discuss it until we have a solid translation. We need to now what exactly the IGN editor said, and what sources, if any they had, because if personal speculation without any references to contacts, it's no useful insight.
True that, it has no more value then another journalist or editor claiming to know something.
I followed a lot of editors from IGN and other respectable publications, and so far they operate the same way, their speculaltion follows rumors and echo chamber. There isn't more information being sourced, the only difference is that they admit it's speculation, or they clearly preamble "according to our sources". When they have real exclusive info it's massive fanfare article making it clear they know something real.One would assume he's got good insider sources though, notably devs telling him XBSX is faster.

And this is the kind of phrasing and context that gets lost in translation. I.e. they believe what based on what?
We had a lot of those from IGN Italy over the years, with a weird google translate. Japanese tends to be much worse with half the words being translated as an emotion instead of a verb.

Stop being so sensible. We'll have none of that here!
He probably thought this wasnt the baseless speculation section, happens.
Unrealistic. Baseless speculation is 95% of the Console Fora traffic at the moment.
It's not, heres hopes we wont hear anything for a good while, too much fun.
What? I just don't care about some TF numbers. Its this time again where fanboys go wild, and its fun to watch.
but some of us want news !
Even if its bad?
