Stopped by Gamestop to pick up Transformers today and after a short discussion guy tries to sell me on the motion controllers for the PS3 and 360. I told him that I wasn't interested in reserving either right now, that I was taking a "wait and see" approach to both and would buy either (or both) based upon the strengths of the launch line-up.
So here's the interesting part - he says: "If you want Kinect at launch, you should reserve now as we are already almost at our pre-order limit." He didn't expect the SKU to be available for pre-order more than a week or so more. They required $25 down and thier listed price was $149, no game included.
This is completely anecdotal evidence, I understand, but anyone work at Gamestop or Best Buy that can corroborate such high pre-order numbers?
Please note, I expressed NO MORE desire for Kinect over Move, he offered that information to me, I wasn't fishing for sales info.
