He means sold at retailers.


Who else would they sell to, martians? We know they sell to retailers, which is known as shipped. Sold is only used when referring to consumers purchasing your product. He's being vague about it which is where the spinning part is.


No, sold is the correct term, and it's used by companies all the time to refer to shipped/sold to retailers. Aaron is right in this case, it's Shane that doesn't understand how things work and instead of looking it up he's making a fool out of himself.

He and phil spenser are good example. Phil said, Xbox One is three times (later six times powerful) than xbox 360. The pawa of cloud, DRM, no DRM, free headset, no headset etc. These people are really terrible in PR. He doesnt even understand the difference between shipped and sold.

Do Microsoft sell to consumers outside their limited own brand stores? No

They sell to retailers, hence sold

Don't listen to people on twitter

In this case you are the guy who is wrong and not him.

Even the milder, more likable one (Major Nelson) is pretty bad. Remember when he said "We can't just flip a switch to turn off the DRM. The console was built around it"...then flipped the switch two days later?

Dat spin
