Forums - Sales Discussion - Massive sales of kinect in Germany

Isn't that kinda expected when we look at the EMEAA sales of Kinect Adventures ?

Furthermore Kinect Sports sold over 10k copies, that means that with bundles Kinect sold over 30k units in Germany given the 1/3 ratio of Kinect Sports.
And since there are no exact numbers for Kinect Sports, Kinect could have easily sold 45k units (with bundles).

Hardly a fail for a region with 5% world marketshare.

Kinect sold out since the First day in Germany.

Amazon germany sold the 149 Euro Kinect at 180 Euros !!!

Am I the only one who consider the OP as trolling?

On a more serious note:

1. No bundles included.

2. 10k Kinect sports is not bad

3. There was no advertising in Germany for Kinect

5. Germany is a much smaller market than UK / US / Japan

6. I bet you didn't notice no. 4 was missing.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

well i also don't believe germany sold 25000 Kinect only(since Japan can sold 26000 in first week)



Just read through the original article: http://www.gamersglobal.de/news/30028/kinect-extrem-schlechte-verkaeufe-in-deutschland-nach-3-wochen

"Wie GamersGlobal nun aus vertrauenswürdiger Quelle erfuhr, hat Kinect in Deutschland seit dem Start vor drei Wochen (also in KW 45, 46, 47) laut GfK-media-control-Daten insgesamt nur 24.187 Stück des Kinect-Sensors (inklusive Kinect Adventures) verkauft."

meh "reliable source". (I'm not saying it's fake, but well yeah whatever reliable means.)

"Die meisten Kinect-Spiele haben offenbar nur vier- oder gar dreistellige Verkaufszahlen geschafft -- nur Kinect Sports liegt offenbar im deutlich fünfstelligen Bereich"

so Kinect Sports clearly passed the 5 digit barrier. Also sounds like 15k or more to me than just over 10k.

Mostly Xbox 360 users dont care about Kinect... Kinect is for new people , so people who buys Consoles now...

Bundles not included -> Key Word.



I haven't seen a single kinect spot in tv since release, but a lot of sony (gt5, move, ac:b) and nintendo spots in this time. I don't know, wthat MS is doing here.

btw: Kinect is sold out on amazon.de since it was released.
