>Chromebook sales are constantly rising
Where are the real shipping numbers from Google then? Surely they must know the numbers? Why won't they release it then? The only reason I can think of could be that they aren't all that great.

The numbers are out there, but Google isn't releasing numbers because they're a tiny vendor.
I'm sure Google has the numbers since the Chromebooks/Chromeboxes auto-update (part of the whole point, really) so given that they likely have unique device IDs (or ethernet MAC addresses), the 'live devices count' would be rather easy to figure out.

Different source, different paper, different journalist, same conclusion.
The idea that Chromebooks sell in volume is delusional, at this point, and downvotes won't make it any less delusional.
Chromebook sales are a much bigger part of current PC sales. And vendors do keep expanding their Chromebook lines. If it was a failure they wouldn't.
I appreciate from the downvotes above that some people prefer to believe what they want to believe ;-)
