Microsoft has responded to the massive leak that resulted in a whole slew of rumortoids yesterday, claiming the discovered items to be the results of market research and suggesting that some of them may never come to fruition.
"We regularly test all kinds of concepts in market research with our Xbox community," claims The 'Soft. "These may or may not be real products in development or ever be released to consumers." Oh, you coy little minxes, you.
Among the revelations yesterday were Microsoft's plans to rip off the Wii further with "avatars," Forza Motorsport 3 shipping on two discs and Spider-Man facing off against the Marvel Zombies. We can confirm right here, though, that Lips is still a downright creepy name for a videogame.
Intellisponse, the market research firm responsible for the leak, has declined comment.
Jim Sterling serves as reviews editor for Destructoid.com, head of the Podtoid podcast, and produces a number of news stories, original features, one-of-a-kind videos.

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
