If I were Microsoft, and I could show good sales figures for Xbox
consoles, I would be very happy to announce them to the world. I would
also be happy that people are buying them for any reason, as once people
have them, the probability of them buying an Xbox game rises from zero
to something (might not be much, but it's better than zero).
