And the reason MS never gives 360 SW in there quarterly reports is?

They never have.

Sony have adopted smoke and mirrors to hide the quarterly figures of their newer hardware.  Why?

So it's better because they never have done it?

well yeah. obviously.

I dont why they have never done it.  But can you explain why Sony suddenly changed?  Dont reply if its just tit for tat.  I am asking for your opinion on why Sony changed.  Debate is boring when a question is simply answered with a question.

I don't see why it's better. If their software shipments are high, why not show them? You started this argument with: "I dont understand how a public listed company gets away with such secrecy. Pretty ridiculous," basically owning your future self. Sony get away with it for the same reason MS do.

Ironic, isn't it?

what nonsense.  the hardware THEY make matters more than the shipments of a thrird party multiplat dont you think?

Sony gives hardware and software numbers, Ms gives hardware numbers, but its Sony that's hiding in secrecy. Oh, they didn't give us Kinect numbers this year, secrets?
