| BMaker11 said: I'll edit my comment and address the rest later, but as for the bold: It's not being twisted into a negative. MS is saying they're sold out at retailers around the world. Retailers around the world are saying "no, we're not". There's no need to twist a demonstrably false statement into a negative. If they would have said something like "we're having trouble keeping up with demand" or "we've sold out in many places" then that is vague enough that it gets the point across and can't be spun in anyway, positive or negative. But to say "we're sold out at retailers around the world", which implies that they are just sold out, period (you can play semantics if you want to by calling it merely "a simple statement") and these retailers respond with "no", that's akin to saying I'm naked when I clearly have clothes on |
The adorable part about this is the bolded thing is what they did say. You're simply twsiting it to mean something else so that a negative can be applied to it. Whether they say they are sold out at retailers around the world or "sold out in many places", you're going to have pictures floating of consoles in stock, which will be seen as a contradiction to the people looking for their agenda to push. In simpler terms, haters gonna hate.
"we're sold out at retailers around the world" simply means they are sold out at retailers around the world. So they found a Target with one in stock for the article. Does that change the fact that if I look at any in my area, they are sold out? Same with Gamestop, or Toys R Us. If you have 10 Gamestops in the world and 9 are sold out, is it deceitful or misleading or lying to say you're "sold out at Gamestops around the world"? No. But if you say "we're sold out at every Gamestop around the world", then that can be misleading.
Don't blame MS because you cannot understand a simple comment about supply, even if you have a fairy tale wish about how they can keep track of inventory and logistics.
