MS hyperbole, or real success?

Why would Microsoft lie ?

Hyperbole != lie

misinformation = lie


Only if the misinformation is intentional, otherwise its a mistake.  The mistake then becomes a lie when said person refuses to conceed they're wrong when provided with the proof.

So you think MS spokesperson was mistaken to think the numbers are good when they are actually bad ?

Unless you are speaking in general then I agree.

I was speaking generally, sorry for the confusion.  I don't like to enter others arguments but I honestly felt it was unfair to say someone is telling a lie when they're honestly unaware of perhaps all the facts. 

I don't really have an opinion on PR statements like these as they really don't give us any solid information other than Sky and Microsoft are satisfied with the numbers.  Given the way the service went down at launch I thought we all pretty much knew the demand outstripped their expected supply so it had to be a success in terms of number of users really.
