I think your all making this a lot more serious than it is. He obviously isn't going to say things you like every time hes asked a question, but don't discredit him completely for it. Also he has a lot more knowledge on the inner business aspect of the industry than anyone in this thread. You guys are on the outside looking in and your opinions aren't gospel anymore than his. Actually yours hold less weight in my opinion.

He's also not even saying or implying what most of the people in the thread are blindly assuming in their rush to bash him for it. Sadly the thread is still at the point where you're just a stupid idiot Xbox fanboy if you agree with what he is saying. Maybe by page 4 or 5 people will have settled down and can discuss things maturely.

He did not imply anything, he said it outright - that marketshare has absolutely no influence on the price of exclusivity.

You can choose to believe that, but it will not make it any less than a straight up lie. It is just fortunate that very few people believe it. The most fortunate ones are various PR coaches now that Microsoft will need to pay for a dozen more courses for their managers: "How to turn bullshit into a PR statement and have people gobble it up without vomiting!"
