The journalist Chris Dring of gamesindustry.biz ran away from social networks, particularly from X, for a baffling reason: he received insults and threats come on Xbox players. His fault? Report Xbox Series X/S sales data on the English and European markets.
Yes, many have started to target him because the data of recent months shows that the sales of Microsoft consoles are hidden in the old continent. According to these self-styled players, reporting what are simply facts would be damaging to Xbox.
An absurd story, but not so much in the age of the internet
The surreal story was reported by the analyst of Circana, a company that monitors the North American video game market, Mat Piscatellawho pointed out that Dring was one of the few reporting real data on real in this place.”
Piscatella then showed an image of a post in which his name is mentioned in a distorted form, with these alleged defenders of Xbox indicating two other targets to scare away: the ZhugeEX analyst, aka Daniel Ahmad, and him. In short, it seems that their aim is to eliminate from X / Twitter anyone who has data showing the poor sales of the Xbox hardware at the moment, which makes it really clear how these people think and the distorted way in which they believe they are helping their favorite multinational.
