Some of the people questioning the numbers from Bungie are the same people who criticised this site for it's numbers at the last Sony numbers announcement. They may not have said it in exact words but you get the feeling from their posts they don't buy what Bungie have said. How you read what i said and got to what you wrote is beyond me! Bungies stats do not mean Reach had higher sales just more people playing it. As mentioned this is most likely due to the fact millions more consoles have been sold since Halo 3 and a lot of those will be on live. Until we get numbers from ndp/track etc we don't even need to talk about sales. The point i made which obviously went over your head is that you can't do the whole "But it is from a company release, it must be true!" thing, then when another does it question their data. It isn't about sales it is about having the same level playing field. If Bungie say they have xyz data then believe them. They are not the type of company to put a spin on it. They even admit first weeks numbers were below MW2 but say 2nd week it is ahead of it. That to me is an interesting comment as indicates there are now more people playing Reach then MW2 (on 360). That is pretty impressive considering one has sold 11m and one has sold 3m. So as for trying to start trouble, jeez do give over. It's friday, go out have some fun. Don't take the forum so serious... |
You say its not about sales and in your post say these UU numbers can mean its undertracked Ive bolded it for easy reference to show that even in the same thread within a dozen posts you contradict yourself and your rationale. Are you purposfully being obtuse and aloof to what this thread is about?
Still i have yet to see people question Bungies numbers in relation to what Bungie is actually reporting on. No one is denying UU has increased, what we are saying to the OP is that you cant extrapolate that to increased sales of software.Thats the point of the thread, i honestly am in awe at your two posts because i really dont understand what youre getting at here, it seems to me you took a completely legit criticism of extrapolating sales like the OP is trying to do based on UU and tried to stretch it into a jab at PS3 owners for no reason and it looked silly since none of the discussion up to this point has involved the PS3, Sony or users commenting on shipment figures.
You call out the "same people" yet no one here is questioning any of bungies numbers because they arent sales, theyre UU. I think if youre going to try to start a flame war and drop comments like "the same people who want Sony shipped figures counted are denying internal numbers from Bungie" You better be able to back it up.
But holding a user accountable on an internet community and calling you out for vague, unsubstantiated claims to try to start trouble only causes you to attempt to insult my social life, which clearly means ive struck a nerve. Take care.
