ranjan,

sony is the kind of company that quotes fake, make-believe, non-existent movie critics when advertising its movies. i urge you (and needs-to-take-a-bath-girl) to look up this string via google.com: "sony columbia fake critics".

Do you remember the debacle with "A Knights Tale"? Sony ate crow for quoting critics that didn't exist in their ads for the movie. Seriously Sony is the last company anyone should believe.

Everyone's got skeleton's in their closets ... this time, though, it's Paramount that "fudged" the sales figures ... which has now gotten HD DVD sites to report false information ... it's a messy domino effect.

ok that got me off guard lol

I couldn't have been more right in regards to to fud bubblebathgirl was gonna post up. Nice! )

What a motley crew of scolliwags..

Kucocoroches - is that your class picture, or are these sorry chaps heading to wal-mart to pick up their booty of A2's?

the 115,000 number doesn't take into account units sold via e-tailers, local chains, mom-and-pop stores, etc. at least paramount is talking about units sold, not units shipped the way that sony always does. not only is "units shipped" not the same as "units sold", it's actually worse if you just have a pile of crap sitting in stores gathering dust.

That is the point exactly.. and it seems that both camps use both sides at their leisure. If your 'side' has SOLD more units, then you say.. hey, our side sold more... but if it hasn't the you say "Well that doesn't include e-tailers"

It's a stick that most of the ignorante's out there wave at will.

What stat is the right stat to use then if tracking/correlating mom/pops/walmart/etail is futile?

Shipped shows a commited investment into a franchise, but doesn't always relate to sales...

you know what? It's far more fun to wave the bat around - forget accuracy and science..

BluCanada, LOL! once again ... is there anyway I can just monitor your posts so I can get a good laugh? )
