You are misunderstanding again.  The percentage of error would ONLY be on the small amount of untrackable locations.  That means out of 2.5 million, only a small portion would have to be estimated, and only of that small portion would the margin of error apply, making it meaningless and would not dilute the overall numbers at all.

 

Do you have any proof of any of that, so far you have no proof MS even has a tracking system, and no proof it has any reliability if it does, everything you say is an assumption based on something which isn't even clearly stated, nowhere in the article does it say the 2.5 is sold to consumers, nowhere does it say MS tracked it, nowhere does it say where they are even getting their numbers from and yet you want to take it at less then face value (since they didn't even clearly say it was sold to consumers)

Goodness. The ENTIRE article is focused around sales to consumers.  Do you really need it spelled out to you?

"We are thrilled about the consumer response to Kinect"

"With sales already exceeding two and a half million units in just 25 days, we are on pace to reach our forecast of 5 million units sold to consumers this holiday."

Combine these with their statement after 10 days which was sold to consumers, and Aaron Greenberg's confirmations.

You are arguing with me about proof when you can provide no proof to the contrary...

lol thats your argument, thats your point, thats it, making it misleading like that without actually saying it is the perfect way to get people like you to think it's sold to consumers numbers without risking being caught in a lie, they don't actually say sold to consumers and I see no way how they could know how much is sold to consumers thats the bottom line where you just assume it's sold to consumers based on how it's worded
