The views don't mean THAT much. Hell I viewed it, but didn't do the hack of course. I mean only 468 people liked it. So views isn't a great indication. And to answer your question YES I do think less than 50,000 consoles got banned.Mostly because in that thread you speak of and the original thread there were people who had multiple hacked accounts on 1 PS3. I remember seeing one guy who had like 5 hacked accounts on 1 PS3...That still counts as 1 PS3 not 5.

And you're not accounting for the people who said **** it and bought another PS3 or bought an Xbox 360. The point is I nor anybody has the exact figure, and if you'd do I'd like to see it is all.

I personally just think people say 50,000 because they figure Treyarch just "has" to unban them to make that map pack money(even though they don't).

If there was 10,000 consoles even I'd believe it more. I would just like to see a stat. Hell could be 70,000 consoles, point is WE DON'T KNOW. So just throwing out a number doesn't help.

what about people from other sites? it wasn't just on NGU

True. But what about other glitches that didn't involve hacking files? I mean I'd assume 50,000 couldn't have thought something as obviously dumb as 1 million COD points would be something to do. What about hacking to 7th or 10th Prestige. Surely that many people didn't want to shoot straight to the top.

You do bring up a very fair point.

However if Treyarch did unban it would make them look bad. I mean so if 5,000 people hacked so they banned them it would be okay since they aren't losing that much. But if 50,000 people hacked, they would unban them to make more money. So it's like saying since a lot of people hacked Treyarch is forced to unban them to make this map pack money...Which I doubt they'll do. And honestly even if they did unban there is no point of threads talking about it now since it would be over 3 weeks down the line from now.
