Retailers started taking preorders at the pricepoint for Kinect of $149.99.

Even without an official statement from M$ on the price. So is Kinect overpriced at $149.99?

Consumers dont think so. It not only has already overtaken the new slim 360 model for sales. All preorders ask for a deposit to.

Even though Move made a larger buzz with the 'Gaming Media' than Kinect. Move is also available for preorder and hasnt even broke the top 10. 

"Microsoft still hasn't officially announced a price for Xbox 360's Kinect (release date: November 4) but retailers aren't wasting any time taking pre-orders at the same price point.

 

I was surprised this morning to see Kinect had not only gone up for pre-order at online retailer Amazon.com, but that it had jumped right past the hot selling Xbox 360 slim console into thenumber one hourly bestsellers slot. Sony's Playstation Move is also up for pre-order but has not yet cracked the top 10 despite costing less and being available nearly two months sooner."

Yeah, it is. PS EYE has been at $39.99 since launch, possibly same for Eyetoy.

I dont mean point out the elephant in the room. but sales dont suggest either the move or kinect will be good. even if they sell by the millions they might still be shite. you just need to look at the wii and the amount of shovelware for it to see that people will buy rubbish!!!
