We can go to all sorts of other sources opinions and site all sorts of numbers, but as much as we wish it were not true both numbers appear to be factual and actually they do make sense.

But if you want to believe any thing you want, that is your right and if it makes you feel better then I think that is good also.

I'm done debating if the numbers are fact or fiction.
The only problem with your argument is you are acting like Paramount are only aware of the numbers. They PAY people to track numbers, third parties. So to simply say "paramount knows more than you" is asinine, imo. There is a very good reason that the third parties exist to announce numbers...or else people liek you would believe it when the companies who have an obvious agenda bend the numbers like Paramount did....thats why the third parties who are paid to track the numbers step in with no agenda.

Also, if Paramount is so much smarter than us, I would only like for you to explain why they insist the inflated numbers come from the "untracked" amazon, blockbuster and netflix (they said 80k were sold at these locations) when indeed they are all ALREADY tracked yet they tried passing it off to the general consumer as their "reasoning" so as if to say they had good reason that their numbers werent the same.....when in fact the reason they gave was BS.
