In a fireside chat with Yahoo on Sep 23 posted above, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick and Phil Spencer were talking about gaming. Around the 34 minute mark here's the exchange:
SZ: Phil didn't pitch his own service, which he could...but you've got about 30 million subs Phil. Something like that(?)
PS: *chukles* The last public numbers we announced was 18 million.
SZ: *nervously shifting* Oh for some reason I thought it was more. *laughs* It's more than 18. Anyways...
So Strauss seems to have let it slip and Phil played it off…but he is definitely in a position to know the sub numbers as him and Phil talk about the service often according to the fireside chat.
What say you? Mistakenly said a wrong estimate? Said something he shouldn't have? You be the JUDGE!
