Actually, I CAN'T go through the thread - it's blocked to non-members, now. So I couldn't possibly know who it was.
If it was "creamsugar", then I'll just ask this - this person has been "leaking" the numbers... and in what way have the leaks been proven accurate? It's not enough to assert that they're right because they've been "leaking" the numbers "for ages". I don't know whether the person is actually trustworthy, because while I sometimes look at NeoGAF because they tend to catch news quicker than others, I don't just trust the claims made by people on NeoGAF, without extra information.
This doesn't mean I doubt the numbers. I have no position whatsoever on the numbers being claimed - but it is not logical to conclude they're right because they've been giving numbers for a long time. And more importantly, quoting the VGChartz thread for the NPD numbers, which provides NO sources for the numbers, doesn't count as sourcing the numbers, any more than quoting a random, unsourced Wikipedia article counts as a "source". That was what I was challenging.
