It appears that main online gaming retailers are all done... if you pre-order now it is for the next shipment sometime around xmas or beyond.

I'm sure some non gaming sites will still have some stock but this indicates the way it is going over here...

They still have console Kinect bundles on sale. Definitely going to be getting the Ops managers twitching trying to fill the pipes. I wonder what kinds of lead times they work too.

Kinect as seen by PS3 owners ...if you can pick at it   ...post it ... Did I mention the 360 was black and Shinny? Keeping Sigs obscure since 2007, Passed by the Sig police 5July10.

Hmm...you know, I think Kinect may just breathe in life into the Xbox 360 in Japan.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

It's definitely going to be huge on its opening.

Aye, it will be interesting to see how it holds out.

Not 100% sure about the West, but I think it may hold up fine in Japan.

see what you did there

will be huge full stop carl

no denying it.

We will see.

Word of mouth is key in a device like this.

It will open big. Will have a big first few Month as it's the new "in" thing. But if support dwindles, don't expect it to last that long. Look what a few Months of poor SW did to the Wii. A console with numerous system sellers already on it and far cheaper than the competition.

Japan I doubt it will have that much of an impact at all.

You need room to play it, and Japanese houses are apparently tiny as hell. Doesn't help with it being on the Xbox neither. We know how Japan  feels about the 360.

I actually see Move outselling Kinect in Japan. Not really a significant victory for Move though considering how things are there.

That sounded alot like pre-'07 talk about the Wii . . .



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

And Nintendo pulled it off. They brought out Wii Fit. Mario Kart Wii. Etc. All the big system sellers. They kept support good for the console.

So I don't see your problem with what I'm saying...

Have there been any numbers released(or rumoured) on the amount of units MS is making available for release?  I've seen the 3M in first 3 months(?) but nothing else.
