Not really, but it's just funny when MS uses the "we're number one somewhere" techniqe to advertise their product. Let's not pretend people wouldn't pounce if Sony were in MS's shoes and did this.

Yep... because when any car company says they car is the best selling of it's category we won't assume it's for that year or between direct competitors... we will say "but on 1975 this model sold more than your car". Or "fatest 1.0 compact car" and someone will say "but mine with twinturbo is 30mph faster".

People trying to compare the misleading of MS with Sony announcements are really apologists.

Wow, apologists. So much salt.

I mean, when a movie ad pops up and it says "THE NUMBER #1 MOVIE IN AMERICA!!!" are people supposed to assume it is literally the highest grossing US movie of all time? Or do they apply some common sense and context, and think it's currently #1 in theaters? Because I know I go to the second option. Apparently a whole slew of people in this thread do not go for the logical option and instead react emotionally.

Also, wow. That was a pretty great ad. I have to hand it to MS marketing, with the Xbone S they have really done a good job turning around the perception of the console. Also glad to see them still hammering Sony about no UHD disc support in PS4 Slim or Pro. Such a fucking stupid decision.
