I think you have misunderstood the purpose of this press release.

It was not for you. It was for Microsoft shareholders, and prospective Microsoft investors.

Where did I ever said it was for me? And if this is public info, why wouldn't it be for me? Shouldn't I also be a potential Microsoft investitor?

You anwered to about what were people waiting for as if their expectations was met with what was released, and I said it clearly wasn't that way for a lot of people here and that will be talking about the game later.

So they didn't released the info people were looking for. Not the people I mentioned.

They could have released info shareholders were waiting for, but I doubt a good bunch of them wanted to know about some of the really random data they decided to present over a factual data about the potential to sell of XBOX main flagship title.

$400M revenue towards it launch involving everything related to it is indeed a great PR move, didn't say otherwise.

@ bolded - so it is for you, or it isnt?

Again, there has been a misunderstanding as to the intention of this media release. It was put out because investors expected a sign-post for how a tentpole launch went. And the signpost they want will be in revenue raised (very similar to how Disney is reporting Star Wars merchandise).
