Their "leak" came from within their party. It's not like anyone else had access to the price and trailer. And if Phil was going to announce the price that following week even after he had intentions on waiting for Sony, then it's clear he, too, was exhausted in waiting for Sony to break.
“within” from their own, or the third party companies they teamed up with to promote it when appropriate, or a controlled leak? Taco Bell had access, monster had access, some employee info from retailers had info...hell there were third party and indie game devs that access to this, no?
why was he exhausted? He’s always smiling in his interviews. Could he not afford a seat to sit upon?
