why don't they at least wait until the numbers come out from NPD etc to say this bs?

I am certain they have an in house team that can give a very detailed accounting of whats going out.  So if its way the F off, why not comment on it if your them?  I am not saying VGChartz is, but thats what MS is basically saying.  

That I don't have a problem with, but it's the way they are saying it is what bugs me

all they had to do was say something in the lines of, we do not comment on these numbers, we advice people to wait for the official release by NPD' or something....then when those numbers come out we can see if VGC are under/over tracking...I just think these statements aren't needed tbh that's all

Personally I don't care if the numbers are off 600k or more, I agree with you it would have been better for MS to STFU.  But VGChartz should be happy, any press is good press if you ask me.  I would bet they get more traffic now than even before.
