Large news outlets are not perfect. Nevermind that this reporter doesn't cite where they get this information from (afterall, they're claiming to have better info that Microsoft) but why would you believe a large outlet that reports gaming news as an after-thought?
And just to keep this in one comment, welshbloke, Yes, they quoite Microsoft...yet Microsoft themselves said a different number. What do you think is more likely...Microsoft giving out an updated number only to Reuters, or the Reuters reporter getting the number wrong? Newspapers run a daily corrections section for a reason.
