because they are losing, sometimes very badly. thats why.

why did sony not post numbers last gen? yup

Exactly, he just should not have said anything. It's quite embarassing to use that as an excuse when they were doing it EVERYTIME when they were winning with the 360.

there is also a big chance they might lose in the holidays too, and if they do and dont say any numbers, well, you know this will be brought up. gamers on forums simply dont forget, i bet some people already tramed marked this and plan on bringing it up again 3 months from now. 

You're right about gamers "not forgetting." However, I've been using gaming message boards since 1999 and in all my time doing it, one thing is certain. They will always conveninently choose NOT to talk about things that work against them in an argument. 

For instance. If they don't "forget", why are Sony gamers walking around with victory flags drawn when last gen, Xbox 360 was killing PS3 in sales before getting overtaken in weekly, monthly and then finally, overall sales? You'd think they'd temper themselves a little bit. Hell, even the SNES was losing until year three so it's happened more than once in this industry.
