Id be surprised if kinect advertised during the game... its more likely to advertise during corrie than that. 

ps.. conceding 5 against Morecambe!?!?!?!?


Next Europa League, then Champions League glory ha!



The thing is they must have preorder numbers in order to say this, so they wouldnt say it unless those figure can be supported, which based on what they've done for marketing seems like it will do those kinds of numbers.



Well I expect it to sell 800k week 1, so five million by years end wont be so hard i dont think

I remember seeing an advert in the Metro newspaper a few weeks back mentioning an upcoming advert for Black Ops which would be shown during the following Champions League game that week! Looks like we've moved on from announcements of announcements to adverts for adverts!

p.s You're not a Stockport fan are you?

yes he is... go easy.  he must be fragile at the moment.

Believe me ,I know! Just surprised there are two of us on the site, that's a significant proportion of our gate!



I wonder why they upped their predictions. Did they find additional supply? Did they get some more feedback from the market or a combination of the two? It is hard as it stands to know precisely how much they will sell and linked to this precisely how much they have to sell. However since they have better data on the former and perfect on the latter I would trust that their projection ought to be within plus or minus 20%

(does anyone know if plus is fixed yet?)



Tease.

getting back on topic! I wonder what sell through they expect to achieve? Looks like Kinect Adventures is going to become a 10 million seller after all!
