What???, What i'm saying is some journalist in some gaming news site is using this line: "Since their release, the PS4 has sold 4.2 million consoles worldwide while the Xbox One sold 3.9 million."because Greenberg wasn't clear about what "3'9m sold"  in that tweeter conversation. One guy said this was "SHIPPED, NOT SOLD", and then he said "actually the correct term is sold". People can translate that SHIPPED=SOLD(to consumers), don't you think????. and this article proves my point.

That was all the problem, because that comparison is inaccurate, tells a lie, and benefits only Microsoft, and we see now why some of us protested.


No the article doesn't prove your point. Click the link that says 3.9 xbox ones

"In reporting its financial results for the quarter, Microsoft got a little more specific regarding Xbox One sales for the year, revealing 3.9 million Xbox One consoles were shipped in the second quarter. That means 3.9 million was the total number of units shipped in 2013 for the new console. But remember, units shipped is not the same as units sold. Earlier this month, Microsoft announced that it had sold over three million Xbox One consoles in 2013, compared to the PlayStation 4's 4.2 million sold."

in addition note athor Matt Liebl fun fact. He wrote both. So he clearly knows the difference.


Oh come on!!, to read that you need to click another link, that's the point. What matters is what you read in that article. If the author uses another article to explain the "3m sold" doesn't matter a bit, because most people that read the original article don't see the other. They just read "Since their release, the PS4 has sold 4.2 million consoles worldwide while the Xbox One sold 3.9 million.".

The author should have made the statement in both articles....If article A says a lie, but if in article B says a truth, doesn't change the fact A is wrong.
