Will sell well, but it's not enough in my opinion.

Good for profit, but without doubt now (at least in my mind), the PS3 will at some point have sold more units than the Xbox 360.

It's a good thing the general public and casual audience doesn't share yours or even any of our gaming forum goers' opinions, then.

It's been priced at $150 this whole time WITHOUT a game included and still been rocking the preoders like crazy.

We will see. Preorders are horrible representations of retail sales.

And I did say it will sell way, and that it is good for profit - which many do agree with.

The only subjective bits are the 'not enough' part and the PS3 outselling part.

First, in response to the implied presumption that pre-order sales will be "rocked even harder" with the addition of an included game, I have to say that the inclusion of Kinect Adventures is not added incentive for consumers to buy Kinect, whether it's the standalone kit or a Kinect bundle.

That's like throwing in a copy of Wii Play without the extra remote.

In fact, I'd kind of hope that for the holidays, MS will also throw in at least one more decent "regular" title to go along with Adventures in their Kinect/console bundles.

Secondly, I totally agree that the pre-orders (which have sharply tapered off in the weeks following E3) are a pretty poor indicator for actual retail sales.

Regardless, I think the Kinect bundles will move quite well this holiday season. If not... maybe we'll be seeing those slashed SKU prices Xbox fans were predicting sooner than later.
