I think for all of the households that ALREADY have an Xbox, odds are good that if there's a daughter/wife/grandmother in the house, Kinect would be a likely purchase.
For all those households without out one, no. Assuming the Kinect kits are $150 on top of a $300 console, no. Everyone will not be buying this. That is simply not accessible enough. If that's the pricing scenario, most of those with casual interest who said "yes, I'd like to play that!" will end up saying "no, I won't pay that much."

I think the demographic for the 360 is the 18-30 male, which is less likely to have a daughter/wife/grandmother in the house.

MSFT may be trying to shift the demographic which would be great for the sales. Natal Kinetic could help them fit more in the 18 - 45 range. The best part is with Kinetic I should not be getting the calls saying "oh, I broke my TV with my Wii. Is that covered under my insurance?"
They were battling Sony with the "you can get a 360/Wii for the same price as a PS" gimick. Now you can leave out the Wii and get the same sort of experience in one package (at least that is what I believe they are shooting for)
