The fact that you insist on not believing a simple number from Sony, but would gobble up any "PR" put out by a random Reddit user (without even giving a number), tells me all I need to know about your stance on things.  This wasn't some typical PR statement that uses generic marketing terms that can be interpreted in different ways.  This is a specific statement that Sony had 1M+ preorders, so AT LEAST 1,000,001 preorders had been placed, by Aug 20th.  The fact that MS didn't say anything in response, which goes completely against their practices from this gen and of late, tells me all I need to know about their preorder situation at the time.


The fact that you believe everything Sony tells you is all I need to know about your stance on things. MS hasn't stated what their numbers are. You are assuming lol. I didn't say I believed this guy at all. Since you are so sure they are mightily behind what are MS pre order numbers? 

Lol, never said I believe everything Sony tells me.  But, I am going to believe them when they give a rather specific number.  One, that if they were proven to be lying, would not only give them bad publicity, but also make their investors lose all faith in them.  The interesting thing here, however, is that if MS did give out a statement stating they were roughly even with Sony, you would believe the 1M+ number.  But since it's only Sony giving numbers, it's probably just PR.
