Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

As the thread title says, Xbox's very own Aaron Greenberg retweeted the VGChartz tweet comparing Xbox Series X|S sales to the Xbox 360. This likely means our estimates are fairly close to actual sales numbers. 

Wasn't it Greenberg who caused a minor furore by bagging VGChartz years ago over some Xbox numbers only for those numbers to eventually end up being be pretty well spot on.



Research shows Video games  help make you smarter, so why am I an idiot

Awesome.

This site is always welcome to new people wishing to join, hopefully we can get a few new members out of this and more traffic in general.

I'd suspect this is the more likely case, accurate numbers, which would be a nice nod to VGC's efforts, but if I was in marketing and some external entity potentially showed higher sales than was actually the case, I'd definitely reference those (assuming sales are good enough that they're worth bringing up). Not that I think that's the case, it's likely more accurate than not, but we're talking about a head of marketing so.

Lmao at that delusional hater in the comments.

Btw congrats on your accuracy.

Yeah it was him. It was about the Kinect sales launch numbers. But that was over 11 years ago back in 2010, so water under the bridge I guess.

Also, congrats to VGChartz! Good work to the team, and it must be nice to have validation from some high-ranking figures.

It's a great look for VGChartz and their sales model!

Hopefully this site gets an injection of new members in the coming months, and more optimistically, Microsoft starts releasing sales/shipment figures of the Series consoles.

I am all open for new people to join the site and join in on the conversations on the forums. My hope is the retweets from Xbox executives means our Xbox Series X|S sales data is pretty close to accurate. 

I would assume that is the reason he retweeted it. That, or he wants to be cheeky, and VGChartz is massively undertracking the Series consoles lol.
