Sales statistics = Xbox Tax, Don't believe their lies!!!
Seriously though, if social media idiots get under your skin at all, you shouldn't be on social media.

Honestly...this is why we can't have nice things. It's not his fault Xbox's sales have stalled.
And saying Mat and Zhuge are next?
Mind you these are probably grown ass men probably in their 30s/40's, lmao.

Twitter is a shit hole. Mets fans were sending death threats to their $330 million shortstop and his wife after he got off to a slow start. I dont know wtf elon is doing but this is something twitter has always had a problem with and its only gotten worse since he took over.
this is what happens when you stop moderating online discourse.

I don't blame him. I rarely post in anything sales related. It's the most toxic form of gaming discourse, along with digital foundry threads.

Probably something along the lines of:
Chris Dring: "So here's the latest sales data on _____"
Twitter: "Kill the pig! Cut it's throat! Spill it's blood!"

Probably in reference to this:
Business - Chris Dring at GDC: Xbox sales flatlining in Europe, majority of Xbox games coming to PS5 at some point, MS putting less focus on GamePass
YouTube With Xbox, I've heard from a very prominent company and one not so prominent that Xbox's performance in Europe is flatlining. You can follow our monthly coverage in the games market and you can see Xbox's sales are falling and it's fell all throughout last year and it's falling even...

Some people just love their numbers. Sales, review scores, concurrent players... and this very same people think that the bigger those numbers are, the better the games they represent are, which imo couldn't be more far from the truth.

Lots of weirdos on X/Twitter so sadly this doesn't surprise me. Welp, I guess now we'll have even fewer data points than before for software and hardware sales in Europe and the UK.

They should stop giving out sales
information. People only use it for their console wars anyways.

Listen I'm just going to admit I laughed out loud at "Fat Pigscatella."
Edit: Fuck off with the "these days" nonsense. These guys are so hard up for Elon (but will never walk away from the platform they hate so much. There is nothing "these days" about those insults. There were shit heads on Twitter from day one, the frequency has not gone up or down. They existed before anyone knew what Twitter was, and they'll be there long after it's gone.

Chris Dring has been posted what I feel has been weekly with his UK sales info.
There's no way you're on GAF and not seeing any of those threads.

Just a man doing his job, one of the few sources of reliable numbers and insight that happened to say some things a couple of warrior factions didn't want to hear. After the positivity of speaking at the LDC and attending the BAFTA awards maybe the thought of returning to multiple twitter shitstorms on Monday morning seemed like the absolute dumbest prospect going forwards.
Fair play to him.

People don't even need real numbers to argue these days. Folks fight using percentage changes with no backing sales data for context. Completely braindead arguments out there.

Oh, gotcha, sorry, I don't really check the sales data nowadays.

Losing access to legit data isn’t a good thing.

Yup, likely a bunch of grown-ass retards who have nothing better to do than harass others online.

Jesus, just tell them to fuck off, turn off DMs (if possible) and only allow comments from friends. Twitter is a cesspool of fucking retards. Don't let them get the better of you.

He isn't doing it for fun. He works for a business that gets these stats. He's only posting them for work. He doesn't need to read the comments on Twitter. It's just another way to get people to go to the GameBizIndustry website to view the full report every week.

You wouldn't like to know if your platform was dying so you could get out or stay out?
I really wanted a Saturn in 97 but I didn't know it was being discontinued. If I didn't know I would have bought a platform with very little support.

Wanted to post this too. Like how the fuck are these people real xDD
Chris wasn't really sensitive to it but if you're getting nothing but harassment there, you have to wonder why you'd stick around posting. Eventually you're just going to say f* this.

100% agreed. All they've done is give everyone a platform to spout their utter garbage views on the world and politics, troll and just act like a cunt in general. Message boards and forums were as much as this society ever needed.
