If Sega did not smoke anything when making that statement, then I must admit that I'm a little happy, since the "fanboy option" is minimally likely.

Honestly, I think Infinite was defeated by Sonic because he wasn't using the energy of the Death Egg. He was using "reserve power". In fact, Tails took for granted after digging into the data of an Eggman computer that the Death Egg was the only thing capable of giving the ruby enough energy to even work. In that case,Eggman also came to think that. Based on that, I interpreted that the "reserve source" that was using the ruby when it created the Sun and when Infinite fought Sonic is  far inferior to the Death Egg's energy.

...Also, I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who interpreted Infinite's backstory by that way. I mean, everyone pays attention to the "I AM NOT WEAAAAK" think. I understood it in a similar way: Infinite blamed his weakness for everything that had happened to his teammates (we don't really know if they died, but at least they had to end up quite damaged)
