Believing that Microsoft's marketing efforts will skew towards the "better value" $299 bundle of the motion controller plus an Xbox 360 rather than the $129 standalone unit, he has increased Lazard's sales forecast. "Our checks indicate that the Kinect build is on a pace of around 2 million units per month... suggesting to us potentially more aggressive launch plans for the device," he said in a note to investors. "As such, we are increasing our Kinect unit sales expectations for [the Christmas quarter] to 4 million worldwide, up from 3 million units previously." |
lol what checks?
And 4 million Kinects before New year. They're insane.
Even 1.5 million actual sold Kinects would be really great (a lil over 1 million bundled and less than 500K standalone units).
Personally I perdict less than a million though. 750K bundled and 250K standalone.
