If it was higher than the official tallies, they would get flamed by people on this very site, who are rushing to defend it now, but if it is too low, they get flamed by M$, Personally, I thought the number was a little lower than I expected, based solely on my specific geographical perspective, but overall, they looked pretty darn good to me. The fact that Greenberg publicly came out so quickly to refute them in a backhanded way, means that Kinect probably did better but by how much? 5 months ago, if somebody had publicly stated that Kinect would launch and sell 500K in 3 days and push over 500K software units, they would have probably been flamed and laughed at on this VERY site. |
*scratches head*
this is a huge improvement in how you were just posting.
Anyway, I think the numbers are good. And I think Greenberg is just trying to be like "HAHA VGC are fools! Hey everyone, Kinect is doing WAY BETTER than 500k, YEAH!! LET'S ALL GO BUY KINECTS!!"
He's a PR guy. He's paid to make Kinect look good. If insulting vgc is part of that job, then that's what he'll do. He could just be trolling us, and completely non-work related. But I dunno. Pretty big coincidence, I'd say.
