are you for real?  first tweet length, and now saying it could be a typo?  you dont need to defend a PR rep.  I can see defending microsoft and your console of choice, but trying to stand up for a guy who gets paid to tweet what he said.  Just face it, he did what he is paid to do.  He spun news to look favorable for microsoft.  this isnt rocket science.  He made a tweet that walks to the line in truth, and easily gets a misleading narrative out there. 

Trust me, I'm more critical of Microsoft than the vast majority of Xbox Owners. Just earlier today I was criticizing them for their current European strategy as well as the Halo:MCC matchmaking issues. I just don't see anything here to criticize. It's one tweet from one Microsoft employee. The official article from Microsoft themselves that he linked was sound, it specified that the number was shipped, not sold. It just seems to me like some of you guys are looking for anything you can to criticize. 

then you are being delibrately blind if you cant see it,  and simple way to check is to go read other social media, and you see people shouting from the rooftops that its sold close to 10 million, while others are trying to get clarrification, while others yet are smart enough to go read.  the thing they know is, most people on twitter are fucking retarded(pardon my french) and they wont click on things, or spend any time actually researching it aswell.  you can run into the same morons on facebook lol   That is why he made that tweet, and worded it the way it was.  its a tweet that when read without further research, one would believe hes talking about 10million units sold.  that is why its misleading.   

Sure, everyone here is going to instantly know what it all means(well maybe not everyone.. lol)  but when it comes to the casuals, they will just hear triple and 10 million and run with it.
