I'm pretty sure it's at least 72% at this point.

Terrible news, I hope microsoft can recoup from such tragedy

Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

I agree 72% sounds more reasonable.

The absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence...

Microsoft copying Sony again!

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Since this isn't Sony I guess it's bad news.

So you think that lay offs at Sony were seen as good news?

They were "Trimming the fat" as some people were calling it.

Point??? It is still never good news to see people getting paid off.

I din't know about others, but i like to get paid off
