I find this article extremely funny for a number of reasons. Most importantly it reminds me an argument I had with someone on Gamespot:
him: multiplats always sell twice as much on 360 compared to ps3
me: see, I don't know about "twice", plus some games sell better on ps3
him: oh really? Like what? give me an example
me: Well i think Dante's Inferno has sold more on ps3 than 360 (source: vgchartz)
him: na-ah. *Gives a link to a gamespot link of npd numbers (of the month it launched).
me: you do realise that just because it sold better the first month of its release it doesn't mean that its ltd sales are better. This game must have had better legs on the ps3
him: whatever man. i used a link from this site. You're just butthurt
me: -_-
Similarly, I remember people claiming that the playstation division was bleeding money (even though one couldn't tell since Sony hadn't given numbers for the playstation division alone). Whenever someone would say that Sony is doing bad, but the playstation part ok, certain users rushed to disprove that claim. Then Sony reveals that actually last year they did make a profit. Turkish makes a thread and gets attacked fro making a thread about last year (I think by people -not sure who- who were sure that ps was bleeding money).
My point: It's fine to admit you made a mistake. We all do. How about we don't attack each other and admit that we were wrong. (I remember predicting that modnation racers would sell 3m LT; awful prediction)
In this particular case, had he come out and say, "Sorry guys. Can't believe I actually wrote that. Here are some actual numbers for anyone interested", I think people would be fine with it. Now he just seems like a joke.
