Of course not. But if they say it's a sell out, and I walk into an AMC, for example, and see 20 chairs open, then go to a United Artists and see 15 chairs open, then go into an IMAX and see another 15 chairs open, I would call shenanigans on it being a "sell out".

And the reason I saw pics of piles of XBones at other stores after it launched was from users at VGC. Then I saw them on /r/XboxOne. Then I could just do a google search and see articles reported on piles of XBones being available. 

And of course you would need to search the internet. Unless you took the picture personally, how else would you obtain it?

How else well for one there are plenty of people in the VGC forums that despise anything MS and would love to show how the X1 is not selling well. Like you for instance.  You are still claiming some photos from launch night and MS is speaking about the sellout nearly 2 weeks later.  

I don't despise MS (bought a 360 and had XBL. Look up gamertag VC Nocks. It's out there) and I never said that the Xbox One wasn't selling well. I was just addressing the topic of the article and agreeing with it. MS is just overexagerrating and they're being called out on it here. 

And with just those two examples, only one was from launch night. The second pick was from Black Friday, and that store had way more than the average store had on BF (meaning they still had a stockpile of them prior). The article in the OP is from December 4th. Black Friday was only 5 days prior.

Not to mention that the whole statement, not just the "sold out at retailers around the world" part you guys are clinging onto is: "[We are] seeing record breaking sales and [we] are selling every Xbox One we can make. Demand is far exceeding supply in the 13 countries we’ve launched and we are sold out at retailers around the world."

Oh, what's that? They're selling every single one they make? Demand is far exceeding supply? But that somehow doesn't mean "sold out" when he says "sold out", and I'm just spinning everything negatively, according to you, right?
