Forums - Sales Discussion - Looks like Kinect's performance has made haters silent!

It's already outselling Wii/PS3/Xbox 360 in aligned launches:

8 weeks worldwide:

Kinect: 5,407,803

Kinect is completely destroying Eye Toy in aligned launches, despite having a far smaller userbase. I think this happened because a lot of people were hungry for something a little new, and advertizing kicked in really fast. In Americas, Kinect's 8 weeks has already outsold eyetoy's American lifetime sales.

I predict that Kinect adventures will go on to outsell all other 360 software. The strong momentum of the game should continue into early 2011 and shoot back up for the holidays, and this is all happening despite a very weak Japanese market. Europe and Americans are loving this so much. I think the reason for all this happening is that Kinect was produced by the casual audience brought to gaming by the wii, and that 360 is now sharing a similar audience to the console leader this gen.

Anyway, to all the people who thought Kinect would "Fail", "just be a fad", those people who said "360 userbase is too small", "It has bad reviews", "wii is the new king of gaming", "casual audience is on a decline", blah blah blah blah blah...

I know this thread is similar to the GT5 one but since that didn't get reported I guess this one would be alright :) enjoy!



Around the Network

Only one thing can sum threads like the GT5 and this one



hahaha i swear i saw this thread coming ^^



and yes you are right, as right as I was right back in April.   The ones who are calling you a troll are the same that called it a fad and wouldnt work cause of teh lag.   Lol they are jokes, and you are the truthgiver.   Awww poor babies, Kinect is a success!!!



i'm really hating what VGC has become...



I'm Back! - Proud owner of the best doomed handheld of all time!

LOL, dublicate threads are fun.



Glad you brought the facts to the table. I got so much sh-t for saying kinect will sell like hot cakes.  I think we will see 360 do 15 million next year. Who wants to make a bet?



does anyone have a link for Kinects sold on VGchartz.    I love how the haters are still crying, I was so right, even more right than this guy, Gamespot had a revolution because of me...   they all were wrong, and I was right!!!  Oh yeah!!!

Kinda got to agree on this one.  Trolling / flamebait threads right now is at an all time high it would appear.

However back on topic I am just as excited as most 360 fans that Kinect has been a huge success and I think its a great piece of hardware, but threads like this and the GT5 one aren't really neccessary. 



We're just awaiting the moment to strike. Then the Kinect will be as doomed as the PSP Go!



Above: still the best game of the year.
