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.

The fact that he's aware of us and felt the need to comment on such an "insignifcant site" says something.  He's watching, at least.
