So  let me get this straight.

-Sony puts up a thank you video and the reaction is "Aww isn't that sweet!" (as seen here)
-Micrsoft puts up a thank you note with some stats and the reaction is "Argh rabble rabble PR bull***"

Really? That's ridiculous. Give credit where credit is due. Both machines sold well and the early adopters are enjoying their games.

That's nice and all, but what does Dead Nation have to do with this thread?

I would rather know how many times Kinect got sweared at :D

@Thread
Well people obviously aren't against the numbers directly.At least i find such statistics funny but those are at the moment unwanted numbers.
Sony announced records here and there and of course how much they sold with sell through numbers and all those things.Much sell,much wow,much records and so on.
Microsoft gives like 5 minutes later the statistics for how many zombies were killed..."No one" cares for that right now.
Give true numbers and not the shipped garbage they pumped out for Day1 even before the 24 hours were over.

it's not really a battle of anything really, just a company coming out with a press statment about numbers that their new system is doing, you would tend to expect more than "how many rotations the combined fans in all the units have spun since launch" or "how many spins of the blue ray for forza has done in the drive combined" there really isn't much of a point to them.

Especially given that things such as miles driven in forza is just going to be wrong, not all the systems are connected to XBL so there are thousands of uncounted miles, means it's just a completely incorrect arbitary number.
