Oh yes of course and even Aaron Greenberg thought it was completely fake enough, - so much so he even retweeted it on twitter without knowing what his own division is up to.....Career suicide that is!!  I mean waht a silly thing for an executive member of staff to do...Incorrectly Tweet (or retweet) info about the progress of his own company! Wow some people hey!

Again, hasn't Greenburg re-tweeted incorrect info before? Forza 5 audience as actual people lined up in Japan to buy the Xbox One? Or has my memory failed me?

                               

Oh and apologies for not raising this in my earlier response. But I sincerely think it would be a way lot easier to confuse a line up at a launch with an actual audience on someone else’s twitter picture feed (and then re tweet in good faith albeit quite ignorantly) then to get your own division's numbers wrong which would be ludicrous. I would be almost certain that the numbers he received (via WPC) would have been front of mind and validated when he retweeted these. Seriously as a Division Head how could you not have hard numbers validated before you share. Surely he could not be that arrogant and bold. Otherwise you would not be in in such a senior position. Then again however, I have seen just as bad in organisations I have worked for so who really knows. But for some reason I do not think in this instance that such a controversial post would have been retweeted by a MS exec willy nilly. Its just blatantly too obvious a serious oversight by a senior member of staff. There can be very serious repercussions for the provision of misleading information – and I am sure they are bound by a comprehensive corporate code of conduct in this regard. I know where I work we are. Again who knows for sure until we know….
