Official Retraction of SEGA TGS Rumor

There has been a lot of controversy regarding a recently posted rumor regarding SEGAs possible Tokyo Game Show line-up. Now, I was originally very defensive of this piece because of who sent it in. He, a long-time go-to guy named Rob, has sent me exclusive tips for four years, and until this most recent one, they were ALL accurate.

Regardless, after the link had been posted by reader Cedge, I immediately contacted Rob via GoogleIM.

If anything, this whole experience will force us to reevaluate our policy as far as rumors go. We may just stop reporting them entirely.

So, while Rob is (hopefully) sending his messages to Kotaku, Xboxic and all those other sites who linked to this, all I can say to you guys is that I am sorry for this whole damn mess. I assure you that this will NOT happen again. I have to say, I applaud you guys for being right on top of this. Thats why we have the comment section open for both praise, and to call us on our shit when were wrong.

So again, I apologize for the story. Well continue to give yall the most up to date NEWS regarding the Xbox 360 and Microsoft, with the wit and borderline-insanity youve come to expect, however the page has been taken down, and no further mention of it will be made after today.

			It's a fake list saw it at NeoGAF. Too good to be true (in most cases who would want a VF Kids sequel?).

			If Shenmue 3 is exclusive to 360 then i'm sure me and many others will commit suicide

			I wish Sega didn't bounce from console to console for games. I know they're trying to make the most money and not commit as many resources for developing on multiple platforms, but it's annoying to sit and wait for consoles to go down to a respectable price. Only last year I finally got a PS2 so I could play Shinobi and Gungrave (among other things, but those especially). Jet Set Radio Future was on the Xbox. Will they make another JSR? It's a niche title, for sure.
