Do I *know* it's incorrect? I do not know this. In fact, since only Microsoft
knows the truth and it has a history of spinning, hiding and censoring the
truth, I would rather rely on the word of a company that has a large
statistical sample. EA makes games for Windows and the XBox, so there's no
real malice or motive here. It also reflects quite nicely on the $5 billion
in losses for the XBox (or did they move it under Entertainment to hide the
losses?) division.
