Speaking on Gamerscore's podcast, Games for Windows PR Manager Michael Wolf says the leaks were "bad" because we weren't getting the information in "context".
"For the Elite, for example, people were talking about the functionality and had pictures and all this stuff, but they didn't have the full story. They didn't know the price, they didn't know the accessories, they didn't know additional information that really puts a lot of context and a lot of information behind it.
The reason why it's bad is because then you lose all the context. You lose all the facts that back it up, so that people hear the story once, understand it, and move forward, as opposed to hearing things bit by bit, piece by piece."
Yeah, sorry Michael, our bad we got all the pertinent information without your PR spin. Then again, considering the mess MS made in explaining the HDD's price yesterday, maybe that's worked out for the best. For everyone.
