Is tis why they removed access to movies people already paid for? Because consumers wanted to be robbed?
You are accepting these numbers as fact, not questioning the source. A corporation that has cried wolf thousands of times is not corporation to trust.

Both of those are excellent arguments to add onto this, to convince undecideds. Though, I don’t think the second one actually demonstrates any lies in the article; just adds new context to the claim, which makes a lot of sense when you think about the dearth of high-profile AAA singleplayer games lately (the kind that would likely sell on discs).
Much as Sony is the opposition, you need to have a very good basis for claiming them to be liars, or you can’t pull non-gamers on board the movement. It’s much easier for people to mislead through skewed views of facts.

What makes Sony’s claims “facts.” Did you review all 100K discs?

What makes YOURS facts? What makes an Insomniac leaker a 100% reliable, fully undeniable fact?
Take a step back. Your goal here is not winning an internet argument. Your goal is getting Sony, or the US Government, to change its tact. I’m only playing devil’s advocate here to get people to practice their arguments. Good thing, because you’re failing yours. Stating, with no evidence, that the opposition’s claims are fake news makes you VERY easy to dismiss in a courtroom or judicial hearing.
You could, absolutely be right that this analyst is lying. But nothing I saw in that link would convince a layperson. I’d still recommend proceeding under the polite assumption it’s true, until you have something showing a total dismissal of that person’s credibility.
And remember: Sony gets more detailed versions of these reports, not the bite-sized headlines. It’s doubtful they’re basing their internal business decisions on lies, which is why I default to assuming their raw numbers are, unfortunately, true.

😂🤣😂🤣😂 By getting bomb on? No thanks Corpie. All Sony has to is turn like IBM & Nvidia, and make drones for the genociders of the Middle East. Then it doesn’t matter if they lie to Amerikkka, dear ol Trumpie will bail’m out.
