| ioi said: Why does anyone need to respond? We all know that MS are reporting the number of units they have shipped to retailers and we report en estimate of the number of units sold to consumers. We have to suddenly "defend" ourself "against" every press release or comment that someone else makes now? Never have in the past so why do so now? Having said this, I agree (for other reasons) that I need to (an have) get people on board to deal with the "press" side of the site and put us about more. |
You can't say everyone knows the numbers are shipped when some vcghartz members that post on these forums keep saying Mass Effect is undertracked.
You don't have to defend against every comment, that's what we/your members do! I don't know how many times I've seen comments posted from members on other sites defending your numbers.
But you guys need to do something when Microsoft, Sony or Nintendo releases official numbers that are misleading.
Maybe it wasn't necessary in the past because the site was new, because it wasn't quoted on various blogs, gaming news websites, digg, Kotuko, reddit, etc. But this site still growing, its becoming a force and at some point it will be necessary.
