You seemed just like a dictator right know... And I know I'll probably get banned for any reason by going after you... and perhaps you should frequent more your own website and have more staff and mod meeting to see their ban historic, protected members, etc...
You may think I'm flaming Xbox, which I'm not, tired of being banned for silly jokes at it. I'm firmly disagreeing of Aaron posture... he as the front man on this case (as you in the case of this site) must set the standard, not bend things to their will... So while people think he didn't had any purpose in not saying it was sold to retail not to customer I and others will keep disagreeing... you know why? Because you aren't the onwer of the truth in this case as none of us is... So if you want to say "In your opinion he wasn't spinning, just talking about sold to retail without any agenda" I won't disagree, but if you say that he is 100% factually saying it and you are sure, then you are putting your opinion as fact and not being neutral, and not holding the standard you say you created your site on.

I am a dicatator, this is my site. It isn't a democracy. I set the rules.
You are flaming Xbox - you have been in hundreds of posts now as have others that you have mentioned and that I have noted previously. It is tiresome and is adding nothing to the discussion on this site.
Greenberg said that "sold is the correct terminology" WHICH IT IS. That is a FACT. Microsoft SOLD 3.9m units to their customers - Gamestop, Walmart and so on. He is correcting the guy who is saying that he should use the word SHIPPED by saying "actually you are wrong - SOLD is the correct word which is why we have used it" and he is right. There is no dispute. Read Sony's financial report and they will also use the world SOLD. Just because some people don't understand the situation it doesn't mean that it is not right.
Not once did Greenberg suggest that Microsoft sold 3.9m units to consumers.

Thanks for agreeing and being so open about it. It really is eye oppening... you change your stance reallllly fast.
You say you don't participate in the forums anymore, but you have a tab of Sony users that you think keep flaming MS... probably you have a tab for MS and Nintendo as well? Or they are more civilized and neutral?
And again, go to the financial thread and see if I have challenged their numbers... I even congratulated them, but that doesn't matter. This wasn't a financial report, it was a twitter to everybody (MS fans, haters, followers, clueless, etc), so I can't take seriously that a PR guy that preffer not to clarify isn't doing spin... but you are entitled to your facts. Won't reply about this, because I have seem that it won't be worth and you wouldn't ever change your position on this.
And I agree with most here that say that MS diehards get away with a lot more than Sony diehards (the Ninty I don't pay much attention since they don't antagonize as much, but most of the ones I talked were nice people), and that threads that flame Sony is better accepted than even small jabs at MS... but as you said it is your site and your will will prevail.
In Brazil we have a saying "To my friends everything, to my enemies the law" (because our law despise what most think is really harsh, just isn't applied)... and I have added quite long ago a part that fits your answer to me... "and if the law isn't enough, I'll change it".
