No, I don't think so. The Slim was only 40% of X360 sales in the USA in June if you go by NPD. Granted, that was in two weeks, but even so they can meet that demand especially since the Euro / Americas / Japan Slim launches were spaced out. They're only going to need 3-4m Kinects for 2010 at what they're pricing and bundling it for and odds are they're already manufacturing the things.

You can roughly tell when the Slim demand is expected to run out by the introduction of the new Arcade models. They're coming in August - Aug 3 in the USA and Aug 20 in Europe. You can take that as roughly when the Slim boost will run out since it wasn't accompanied by a permanent price drop. So they'll ride those models for a bit, then Halo, then Kinect and Call of Duty, possibly with a price drop in there somewhere.
