Nintendo PlayStation 4, huh? Well my body is ready. Jeez, what a rookie mistake. It's like when old people talk about the internet being a series of tubes, only worse.

 

[NWJ94]

So nice to know the high standards of research journalists abide by. It would only have taken about 10 seconds on Google to check that.

 

[Cybylt]

Oddly enough, probably the most accurate main stream news article on games of the decade.

 

[Veldel]

Nintendo made there own PS4? Is this mean Mario will be in shown in a much better look with larger levels wow I am amazed at this news I sure hope it duesn't cost to much or have any gimmicky controllers like that Wii U had and one can only imagine how Metriod will look in such high detail.

 

[Aerosteam]

Oh, it was only a (dumb) mistake?

Phew, I almost shit myself from confusion. :/

 

[Eclipse Dragon]

So they finally did it, Nintendo and Sony teamed up against Microsoft.
Of course they'd want to keep something like this under wraps, thankfully the skilled journalists at LA Times have some amazing anonymous sources.

 

[Micah Weil]

Oh, Old Media...whatever are we going to do with you?

 

[CriticalMiss]

I see no mistakes. Now excuse me while I go and play Sega's latest Pokémon game.

Cereally though, you'd think that if they were going to cover videogame news they would at least know who makes which consoles, or take the minute or so it would take to check.

 

[TheMemoman]

Das rrrright! Fact checking is for wimps! Printed press is hardcore!

 

[Imperioratorex Caprae]

And people wonder why the print industry is dying... Seriously though, one would think that maybe the freakin' LA Times would have, you know, fact checkers that actually did their jobs. Journalism is officially dead when you see stories that should have been printed by The Onion in mainstream news.

 

[Jumwa]

Sony's financial troubles were worse than most of us thought!

 

[JonB]

Honestly can't stop laughing at this.

 

[Scrythe]

I wish I held onto it, but I saw a similar blunder many years ago that referred to a mysterious console known as the "XCube Station".

No word on who was supposed to create that monstrosity, just that it was the hot new item that Christmas.

I supposed I'll have to wait until Hyperkin announces it in 2019 and releases is three years later without any news as to why it was pushed back so far, and pissing everyone off who preordered it.

 

[DTWolfwood]

What more proof does one need that News Journalism no long require any fact checking? lol

Nothing you read, watch, or hear on the news can be considered "fact" anymore.

Thanks LA Times.

 

[Kmadden2004]

Looking at the caption to that photo, it appears that LA Times is operating under the belief that Splatoon is also a console...

 

[azurine]

See, this is what happens when people who know nothing about video games are forced to talk about video games.
According to some none-gamers, every video game and console that has ever existed is called "Nintendo".

Essentially, we're still hearing a mild echo to something that was first sounded all the way back in the 90s when Nintendo ruled the world.

That said, WOW, this takes a very special kind of incompetence to not think "let's fact-check this first before publishing".

 

[Rad Party God]

Yeah, and people point and laugh at our (admitedly) pathetic local news papers :/

I also love how they write every single game's name with quotes.

 

[Charli]

Okay okay wait, CLEARLY the writer of this is a traveler from the dimension where the deal between Sony and Nintendo did not fall through.

I mean it's obvious.

 

[ryukage_sama]

Well, if the LA Times believe that this guy is "tech-savvy", I know where not to get my technology news from. The paper should have sent an intern to write the story.
