Only problem? All of those are fake as shit, confirmed here:

Funny thing is, it looks like all of the gaming journalism sites are actually using the NeoGAF thread as the source... the same thread where it was debunked.

The Monster Hunter image actually appeared on Play.com, but it has been up for months. The system may indeed be getting a Monster Hunter port of some kind, but Play wouldn't be the first to know.

The rest of the images originated at... wait for it... 4chan.

Spun off into its own GAF thread, complete with a Kotaku editor not admitting he's a tool factory:

Kotaku lost all credibility a long time ago. I don't know what the hell they were thinking, hiring people like Tim Rogers to write for that site and making a "Kotaku Core" branch that's the wrong solution to a problem that shouldn't even exist.

Not that other gaming blogs have much credibility to begin with...

Kotaku went on a banning spree because of this. Catch up with the GAF thread. Pretty ridiculous.
