Because if so, I really don't know how people can see X360 sales (the console people seem to give the edge due to Kinect) shoot up to over 8 million for that 10 week period, which is basically where it's going to need to be - and that's being extremely generous, because it also requires the Wii down 30% YoY.
Basically, the question is whether or not Kinect can push over 3 million X360's this holiday. That is, Kinect is sold to over 3 million new owners (people who are without a 360 right now), on top of however million sales to existing owners. I think the idea is laughable - even if Kinect is wildly successful, I doubt MS will produce enough to meet such demand.
