  DID EVERYBODY SEE THE NEWS SECTION TODAY. GAMESPOT PUT UP NEWS ARTICLE ABOUT MICROSOFT FAKING THEIR NUMBERS, THEY THEN TOOK IT DOWN. BUT, IF IT WAS A PS3 NEWS IT UP THERE QUICKER THAN YOU CAN SAY "JACK OSBOURNE". There isn't even any news about the latest news for the PS3. 

  This is "Blasphemy" i tell ya.

 

 IF THIS ISN'T PROOF THAT MICROSOFT PAYS OR BRIBES "GAMESPOT", I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS.

I highly doubt it. From the research i have done. That guys blog seems to be "88.5%" reliable. THAT IS PRETTY HIGH IN MY BOOK.

I think its a little of both. MS probably counted sales that perhaps other companies wouldnt, such as contest winners and/or returned units. Knowing MS there are many other ways they tweek their number but thats nothing that every other company doesnt do, as much as they can legally get away with.

Na, they quickly realised that M$ is paying them to support their site, advertisements etc.

I figured M$ was exaggerating. No way could they nearly reach 10million in 1 year.
