Before we go ape over this, some analysis.
Retailers are reporting high pre-order numbers for the device,
No names. Good start. Oh, also no numbers.
which will be available in November for £129.99 bundled with Kinect Adventures.
Fair enough. Facts.
In fact MCV understands one large chain has encouraged stores to secure 10 pre-orders for Kinect a day.
a) Really? The name of this chain?
b) ENCOURAGED. "Hey, guys, it would be nice if you could get 10 pre-orders a day". Yes, that would be nice indeed. Doesn't mean this is any sort of projection or evidence.
Sources says they expect advance orders to topple half a million in the UK by launch.
Here we are with "sources" again. These guys are worse than VG247. For all we know, the "sources" are Pachter and Wedbush Morgan.

Actually, MCV used to be a DVD, Videogame chain themselves.
They have always been a reliable source for the UK. Anyone who lives here would know that.

Well, I live in the UK. I know MCV is a DVD and video game chain. That doesn't make them a reliable source, especially when their sources are nameless and refuse to provide concrete numbers. If you look at it, it's quite a well written article, because in a good six paragraphs, it gives a sense of positivity regarding Kinect without actually saying anything.
I'm not saying Kinect won't sell huge numbers. I'm saying that this isn't evidence that it will.

Apart from always showing themselves to be reliable? But because they paint a rosey pic for Kinect they are all of a sudden 'not' reliable.
MCV = understandably reliable, and there is no reason to not trust them.
