You complain about a handful of those who "use sales to downplay other products". It is a pointless thing to fret about. Plus, if sales are of no consequence to you, why call them "meaningless stats"? Really, your first paragraph in the quote contradicts this sudden shift.

As far as companies not announcing sales, that would only be Microsoft and they are only not doing so because of their distance to the competition. But, like Nintendo and Sony, they know how important marketshare is. Again, that is Business 101.

I think i made my intentions quite clear with my last post. The issue here is people think i say Sales mean nothing when i clearly state its not the Be all, End all to a business especially when we are talking about a buisness model focusing on online and services more and more. Iv always stated Sales are good, but the way people act as if its everything especially when companies find different ways to profit.

Yes sale figures to me is a meaningless stat, its nice to know but it does nothing to the way i game or decide what to buy. Maybe if i am into shares ill care more. 

When more and more companies start investing heavily within the online services you will start seeing more and more not mention sales figures, unless its to downplay there oppisition.

I respect this site and the work going in, I never said sales don't matter,

Really? I bet I could find posts where you not only said exactly that, but defended that idea in follow up posts. Do you think I could find such a post?

Please do, find me a post where i stated sales dont matter without me stating in the same post/thread that sales are good to have. Again its not everything. It seems what gets said gets misread.

Besides why are we posting OT in this thread, how about PM me instead. Makes things easier.
