Looks like Greenie gets the last laugh from all the haters.

Yeah, obviously.

As VGC estimates are actually pretty damn accurate if the "Over" 1 Million is actually sold to consumers...

It was pretty clear that over 1 million was sold to consumers...that are pretty specific language.  M$ raised their estimate to over 5 million by EOY, so evidently, they didn’t ship 1.3 units to stores.  As I posted elsewhere, VGC’s numbers weren’t bad, based on the initial data, but I still think it was slightly more…closer to 600k, because the standalones seemed to be sold out at most online retailers and even brick-n-mortar by Saturday after launch.  The problem was one of perception, as M$ KNEW they had far more sales than 470K units sold, when VGC posted the data.  As for my specific comments, they weren’t at the VGC estimate or the staff, but at all the noise makers ranting about Kinect…dunno, but seems to me that selling 1.3 million units in 10 days of a $149 “peripheral” is freaking outstanding for a 50 year old console.  Looks like that 5 million increase in sales estimate is going to be blown past by Kinect…7 maybe…now wouldn’t THAT be something!
