People have been more satisfied with the Xbox 360 than the PS3 so are less inclined to upgrade - one of Yusuf Mehdi's opinions on sales gap

What, do you think Microsoft is gonna announce that they screwed up? Their sales didn't change, and the internet backlash was huge, if you didn't notice. In this case, I think my butt is a pretty damn reliable source. 

How could they screw up on a temporary promotion? And why would the sales change? Exactly what kind of sales boost are you expecting from a promotion exclusive to MS Store locations? If this were something they were running at Best Buy/Gamestop/Walmarts nationwide, ok. But it was their own store. lol. Also, you do understand the promotion was for both PS3 and 360, yes?

And LOL @ Internet backlash. EA has won the "Worst Company in America" for 2-3 years running now. They sell tons of games. Call of Duty faces craploads of vitriol every single year yet sells tens of millions every year.

You spoke about it in such a factual manner, I simply assumed you were informed on the matter. And I know you think your butt is reliable, people who pull stuff out of their butts always do.

So, unless I have an actual quote from Microsoft or solid numbers, I can't prove that the internet laughed at Microsoft over that promotion?

Just look at the comments on any thread or aticle on that issue. People were disgusted.
