Forums - Sony - Sony’s Shuhei Yoshida Talks About “Millions” of PS4 Preorders, Feels Like the “Challenger” in North America

they would screem it down from the roofs if they had already 2 million pre orders.


Did they scream it when they passed 1 mil. No, they waited for an appropriate time to announce their position. Your mind set isnt very logical. They had over 1 mil before the announcement of a release date. Ofcourse it will pick up after. Do i know what they are at? No, but i know millions isnt an overstatement

so they hit 1 million recently and now he is talking about millions? trollolol


1.00001 million= millions

 

fail troll attempt is fail 

Not really... 1.00001 is still one miliion, plus a small fraction of the next million. Just like 1.5 million is "one million AND a half".

Interesting discussion huh

why troll attempt? 1.00001 million = millions isn't logical at all for me tbh. didn't know that lol.

its basic mathmatical logic that anything greater then 1 is plural.

it is greater then 1 hence not singular allowing you to add the s at the end. 



millions its just a non quantitive number, its somewhere over a million but the exact number is unknown, it could mean 1.000000001million or it could mean 10million. its an unknown and hes not using it in any hidden way, everyone knows its over a million fm gamescom so its safe to say without knowing or wanting to share exact numbers.

Dude... 1.000001 million != millions lol... 
2 millions and more == millions...

Even if he was effectively trolling, you are plain wrong :)

It is greater than 1, hence plural allowing you to add the s.

The only language that i am aware off that considers million starting from 2 million is french. 

So you think that the ps4 has over 2 million pre orders?

You should know it's than, not then.  
Also, your logic says that 1.00001 million is NOT millions.  
If you had $1,000.01, you wouldn't say "I have thousands of dollars."  That's grammatically and mathmatically incorrect.  
You need 2 of said unit or more.  Since you do not have at least two whole millions, you can't say it's millions.

You are very correct from a grammatical and mathmatical point of view. That being said, it's probably much higher than just 1 million. The number will continue to increase off course and it will accelerate in increasing the closer the release date gets.

i think they said pre-orders are well above 1 million at gamescom. microsoft said that pre-orders in europe increased 200% after gamescom so that could be the same or even more for sony in europe and maybe they also take pre-orders in japan for some days now? if it was already at maybe 1.3m it could be at 2m now.

well, maybe...


they would scream it down from the roofs if they had already 2 million pre orders.


they didn't when they passed 1 million.

Why should they with 2?

if your using an exact number, you never add the s.   You dont say "i dont 6millions miles" or "i saw 4millions birds"   the s is added to the noun
