There is no way he would comment if the numbers were lower. It would be like saying "Haha you don't know what your talking about! We didn't sell 10 units we sold 3! haha jokes on you!" etc. That would obviously be pretty stupid.

If Kinect had sold less they would ignore it. They would want to keep it under-wraps.

The fact of the matter is this site is a lot of guess work, it isn't supposed to be 100% accurate. He will obviously have access to the numbers for it. I doubt very much he would decide to bitch about the site if you were right.

That would not be stupid, it depends on the goal. If the intention is to make it seem like Kinect is selling really well in an attempt to keep the hype up, then it would be expected.

Exactly, as Binary pointed out VGChartz is theonly independant source for users. People searching google for "numbers" will be lead here. The fact of the matter is Greenburg can LOL at the numbers, which will obviously be interperated as it being too low, and since NPD has recently whored itself out to the inside and Greenberg is an exec it marginalizes and diminishes the website and thus....th eonly numbers people have access too.

Its not about Greenburg having higher numbers and saying something professional like "We recognize all the hard work that goes into independant tracking but VGChartz is very low with their initial report, now im going to go back to my Usher concert and try to be cool" Okay th elast part was a jab by me, but regardless, hes using his status and clout to diminish public perception without needing any accountability.

Its fairly obvious to me, if MSFT discredits any numbers and NPD isnt reported for 3 months they can then report shipment sale son their terms and control the info.
