ELSPA: That Original Article That Quoted Us Was Stupid

Feb. 4 9:51 PM by Alicia Ashby

Here's a nice rumor smash for you: remember earlier this week, when I picked up on the ELSPA story that everyone else and their mom was covering? I thought the piece was kind of suspicious from the get-go because I had pretty much never heard of the newspaper in question before.

Speaking to the highly credible GamesIndustry.biz, the ELSPA claims the original article and most of the quotes attributed to it are pure hogwash.

The report, said ELSPA, is a hatchet job consisting of facts from an article from Singapore, false quotes and a genuine conversation with Hillier on the availability of the R4 cartridge in the UK.

"The quotes from The Sunday Post were ascribed to his name from another article which originates from a website in Singapore. This, it appears, is where The Sunday Post first found out about the supposed R4 situation and for some reason unknown to John have quoted him on what this article said."
