I can't believe some of you guys are hating on this.
I like to read these stats and MS publishes them every now and then. This is not a weak counter to Sonys sales numbers at all.

But there MUST be a battle, right?


it's not really a battle of anything really, just a company coming out with a press statment about numbers that their new system is doing, you would tend to expect more than "how many rotations the combined fans in all the units have spun since launch" or "how many spins of the blue ray for forza has done in the drive combined" there really isn't much of a point to them.

Especially given that things such as miles driven in forza is just going to be wrong, not all the systems are connected to XBL so there are thousands of uncounted miles, means it's just a completely incorrect arbitary number.


So, because one company announced sales numbers the other company is not allowed to publish statistics for their games, even though they are doing this for years. Got it.
DAMN YOU MS!

*sigh*



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
