Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Kinect beats Apple, becomes fastest selling device in gadget history!

The Cult of Miyamoto in damage control as usual.

Yeah the Kinect is selling well... But I hope MS gets back on track with the core games. They kind of didn't deliver all that much this year. Or last year for that matter either.

xD, if you're counting Kinect in this kind of stuff, Wii Fit is ahead by a mile. And if you wanna argue that it had more time to sell in EMEAA and Japan, then Pokewalker did more in a week launch aligned.

So there!


And here I was under the impression that Wii Fit was a game. For the Wii.

I got banned a while back for saying Wii Fit wasn't a game, too what strange levels of hypocrisy

It is a game, actually. Should've said Balance Board, but same difference, really. It's as much a game as Kinect Adventures. I'm guessing you didn't mean the same thing as me when you claimed that it wasn't a game, :P.

But I thought people were purchasing Wii Fit the game, not the balance board. Of course, they could have been buying the balance board and gotten Wii Fit extra, but thats just silly. Presumably this would have to mean that people buy Wii Sports and get a free Wii, and people buy Kinect Adventures and get a free Kinect.

So . . . is Wii Fit a gadget? I can't tell.

Whilst that's true, since both are gadgets that also allow for other games to be played on them bundled with a main game, they technically should fall into the same group.

"Presumably this would have to mean that people buy Wii Sports and get a free Wii, and people buy Kinect Adventures and get a free Kinect."

C & P sucks with quoting, so I'll just repaste it. So then the question is, do people buy the Balance Board and get a free Wii Fit? In this regard I wonder whether it would be the gadget that sold well, or the game . . . eh, I'd base it off how the device is marketed myself.

It is debatable, though I really don't think so. A device comes with a game. The device can also play other games. They both fit into that category. So if Kinect is being compared to iPad, Wii Fit should be too as it's in the same category.

ipad is all but a gadget

ipad is a stand alone while kinect is an addon, how can u really compare those 2 things ?

Hm, not quite sure. Alternatively a game could come with a device to play the game; thus it's a peripheral created for a single purpose. Whether it remains a peripheral made for a single reason changes or not may not change it's original purpose, that of being a part of a game, albeit something you can physically manipulate outside of the game and use with other games. The balance board came with Wii Fit so play the game, I'm not sure you can say that a Wii came with Wii Sports so you can almost exclusively play Wii Sports.

If a device that comes with a game can also be used for other games could be in the same grouping, it should put in the same group as video game consoles.
