You might of seen some Kinect sales stats out there saying that in 10 days it sold over 1.3 million worldwide. Is it true? A contact at Microsoft had this to say about it:

Quote: We have not announced sales figures for Kinect yet, while these numbers are impressive and favorable for us, I would caution people to rely on figures coming from polling based methods versus actual retail sell-thru like NPD or our internal reporting directly from our retail partners. I can tell you that we are working hard to keep up with the very high demand for the product, retailers are re-stocking daily.

Don't believe everything you read out there.

This is VGC.  The numbers that are mostly discussed here are numbers from VGC.  In fact, this community wouldn't exist if it wasn't for the numbers provided by VGC.

If one doesn't want to use VGC numbers, there are plenty of other communities out there that don't that you can use.  In fact NeoGAF won't even let you mention the name of the site or risk being banned.

That's pretty funny. None of the numbers are truly accurate. Even NPD numbers aren't 100% accurate, as they do not get their numbers from EVERY retailer. So any number you get from VGC or NPD are likely to be lower then what they really are. We'll see if Microsoft can give us on numbers in the near future.
