Okay so 50 threads at 8 pages a thread = 50x10x8 = 4000 even though the real figure is much lower as people have posted more than once.

4000 / 250,000 players = 0.016%

Even adding a 140 page thread you mentioned (another 1400 posts even though realistically people have posted more than once and/or were already included in the previous amount) would give:

5400 / 250,000 = 0.0216%

The 250,000 figure is obviously a guess, they haven't released figures other than the million people that were playing at the TGS, but I'm sure it's higher than the 25% figure I'm using now, but for demonstration purposes I'm using intentionally lower figures. My previous point was/still is that it's a small percentage who are affected.

There is one major flaw in this logic, it assumes everyone with the problem has taken to the forums.
