Toshiba Caught in a Lie!

[Paden]

This won't surprise anyone here but this is from the live coverage on Engadget...

Q: How many HD DVD players and recorders, exactly, did you sell?
A: 600,000 players in the US -- 300,000 of which were Xbox 360 HD DVD drives. 100,000 units were sold in Europe. And about 10,000 players and 20,000 recorders in Japan. So about 730,000 units worldwide.

How many were they claiming to have sold? I seem to remember hearing they sold 1,000,000 units in one month, right? I guess they either had a lot of returns or they just lied through their teeth to make it seem like they were doing better than they really were.

Yet another point that might make it easier to sue them... Misleading the public. I guess, however, if there really were only what, 300,000 stand alone units sold in the US, the population of people waiting to sue them is probably a lot smaller than I originally thought.
