My opinion is he intentionally left out the explination of sold and sold to retail for obvious reasons.

It is your right to an opinion of course, but you have provided zero evidence to actually support it.

It is just a hunch which seems to be based more on your personal allegiance than any hard facts or analysis of what was actually said.

This is where the issue lies in these forums unfortunately and what I mean about seeing things with an open-mind, logic and reason.


not sure what your getting at but i have no personal allegiance

This is you opinion anh he is entitled to his, just becayse you oerate the site dosent give you the right to tell others they are wrong and can't have an opinion.

No it isn't my opinion, it is a fact. Greenberg didn't say anything that was wrong or that was misleading. It isn't a case of my opinion vs someone elses, it is a case of what somebody said and it is there in black and white for all to see.

I'm not saying "I like game X" and someone else says they don't like it and I'm saying they are wrong. This is a totally different situation. Somebody said something in black and white that can only be read one way.


i feel it's misleading in the way that you, aaron, and I all know that the distinction between shipped and sold is not at all obvious or well known to the general public.   his statement wasn't wrong but he was on twitter,.. i believe the term is lie by ommission.

shipped vs. sold is a timeless subject and frequent source of confusion for noobies...



Of course he will say 3.9 mil sold which is still correct. He won't say sold to retailers though.

 

in before lock! oh yeah!
