| Spade said: Do yall think Xbox management should start addressing these rumors? Like the one with Hifi, etc? Does keeping silent actually help, even if they said it wasn't true would people even believe them? Might be a lose lose situation. :/ |
I don't think there is generally a point to address these kinds of rumors. The people who have heard the rumor in the first place are going to be a small number of enthusiasts. Nothing worth correcting unless it goes much further, particularly if it were affecting their stock, which in this case it certainly wouldn't.
On the rumor at hand. Grubb frequently shows that he is definitely plugged into the industry. He's frequently the first to announce various showcases. At the same time, he also often makes guesses that don't even make sense. He's not as accurate as Schreier is.
Hi-fi Rush would certainly have some kind of sales expectation/engagement expectation. And it certainly could have fallen short of that by some metric even if it was the biggest success they've had in a while. But it seems unlikely they had extremely high expectations.
