A website in the business of tracking sales has every right to get called out if it gets sales numbers wrong.

Greenberg has said some stupid things but if you think that vgchartz has better sales data than an exec from Microsoft some of you are more deluded than I thought. He would have no reason to comment what so ever if sales of Kinect where close to or even below what was posted.

I don't see why people are even doubting that vgchartz got the numbers wrong, this site is known for making massive adjustments pretty regularly. Well I guess its the fanboys job to trump up whatever source makes their console of choice look good and bash the source that casts it in a bad light. We see this all the time when NPD figures are released, don't really know why I expected any different.

Here's a question for you -

How would Aaron Greenberg know the exact sales numbers, when the only numbers (aside from Shipped) that he has access to is NPD?

He would have no reason to comment unless he knew with a pretty high certainty that vgchartz numbers were wrong.

As to how he knows their wrong we don't know and can only speculate. Maybe they already received initial sales figures from NPD, maybe the have their own internal tracking for Kinect who knows. All I can tell you is that his sources are probably a lot more accurate than ours.
