"Source: 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment" I cant' say that's credible. I'm not claiming it isn't true. I'm stating it isn't a credible, objective source. Any source that has money put into either format (so Warners, Paramount, and LG are included for their dual support), isn't a credible source.

The BR group uses nielson numbers. i guess everything is not credible if it means good for sony. |
I don't care what source they use. There are plenty of ways to twist numbers to suit your views. I've seen that from every side already in this thread. And don't you dare pretend you aren't pretending sources you don't agree with aren't credible. You're just projecting your own lack of objectivity onto me. |
when your product is leading there is no need to twist numbers...which sony isnt, the only time twisting numbers is beneficial is when the product is losing and you use things to make it seem as though it isnt bad and it wont be prolonged.......see PS3 sales with "compared to 360 at this time" or "for its price"......when leading, you never twist the numbers.....youre just playing devils advocate and cant call a spade a spade, BD is dominating right now. Maybe not forever but so far this year BD has dominated, there is no twisting needed. |
That is not the only time to twist numbers. It could be you're in the lead, but you twist numbers due to tax or stock complications. Or in this case, when the lead isn't that commanding, but they want it to look overwhelming, and that it's practically over, when it's not even been a year yet. |
indeed, but sony included the miniscule actual sales number and not just teh rankings, so they arent twisting a "top 25" sales without including the actual amount of sales. Youre just diggingdeep to not praise BD, while it is awfully small, cimply compared directly to HD DVD is dominating, and thats the only terms that matter, BD compared to HD DVD because even if digital downloads prevail or BD or HD DVD dont take over completely for DVD there is still a market for hi def movies and larger disk medium of storage, so while you can twist ranking, actual sales numbers in direct comparison, to me at least, are solid data that isnt being manipulated by Sony or anyone involved in this.
