I will answer your question when you answer both of mine.  I'd like to know what you mean by "taking things at face value"

and why you would want people to just automatically believe whatever PR they are fed.

I don't.

I don't feel anything. How do you feel about every VR maker not releasing headset numbers?

Indifferent. I'm not a VR investor.

So what you're telling me is that Microsoft should be called out on not revealing the XB1's numbers, correct?

... or is this the usual SonyToo(TM) statement?

Well if Microsoft is being called out for a practice, as aLkaLiNe I think will agree, is widespread, why not Sony too?

We do want to be fair, right?

What I'm trying to say is it's not unusual or odd that Sony doesn't release VR headset numbers because that market is infant and literally no headset maker is releasing numbers. So, no numbers for VR is currently the norm.

What isn't and hasn't been the norm is reporting monthly active users in place of sell in numbers for consoles which is why people are looking at Microsoft with a magnifying glass.

Do you understand?
