heruamon said: Do you really think wholesalers have no methods of tracking sales of product at retail, in general? As for this specific case, one easy way would be restocking orders from retailers. M$ knows how many were shipped, so if Retailers are clamoring for follow-on orders to be filled faster...that's probably a clue. Every been to a best buy, and they could tell you which nearby stores had the item sold out at the store you're at...that might be a clue. |
If MS had a tracking service then Greenberg wouldn't be quoting NPD numbers as fact every Month.
