The fact that they chose that wording instead of something like "best-selling digital game ever on an xbox platform for an opening week" or "best-selling digital game ever in an opening week" can indeed lead people to see spin, regardless of the intent. |
My guess is that they are just including games that are in the main marketplace, while excluding ones launched specifically on Arcade, where Minecraft landed. Or they could be doing what the "conspiracy" suggests, only including games that launched after the change from Xbox Live Marketplace to Xbox Games Store. With all the maneuvering they did in that PR statement, it wouldn't surprise me if either were true.
