You just reinforced Point 3. And you do realize Sony can't lie about their numbers, right?

You disagreeing with Pachter doesn't for a moment mean he jumped the gun. His recent statements are in line with VGC.
And you're fundamentally incorrect. Sony cannot lie in their financial reports (though there are limits to how clear and open they have to be).
But their PR department just about exists to lie, and it can do so with virtual impunity.
|
Of course he jumped the gun. He admited it himself.

And the statements regarding how many Moves were sold were not made by Sony's PR department. They were made by Sony's CEO's of America and Europe. It would be almost impossible for them to lie about these numbers, as doing so would harm the company. Both in reputation and sales.

Mate, you really need to examine your assessment of the shipped versus sold argument, as well as rethink your perception of how these CEO's are required to operate and how we would prefer they operate.
|
Actually, I think my assessment is pretty spot on. And I guess you just have a general mistrust of any CEO, then? Nintendo and MS included? Trust me, if it was found out they were lying (which financial reports would show), then they would be canned for hurting the company's rep. It's as simple as that.

Of course, in a consumer-based, competitive and high pubilicity environment I am highly skeptical of taking the word of ANY CEO at face value.
The link you provided indicated NO evidence of any sell through to consumers, other than the writer's own (unsubstantiated) assertions. On the other hand, VGC and Pachter more recently have both offered evidence that contradicts YOUR assertions.
And the CEO will not be canned for misleading the public, as that is all he did. He did not lie. Sony has indeed sold 2.5 million units to RETAILERS!
