If Kinect does indeed sell over 2 million units per month with the Xbox 360 bundle being the more attractive option like this analyst believes it will likely turn the current gap with the PS3 into a Grand Canyon.

Lazard: Kinect will sell 4m over Christmas
"Our checks indicate that the 1. 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 2.[the Christmas quarter] to 4 million worldwide, up from 3 million units previously."

1. According to their source Microsoft are manufacturing 2 million kinect units per month, its not a sales prevision.
2. 4 Million in the christmas quarter, which is 3 months, and its the biggest time of the year.
The analyst is reasonable, the problem is with Legend11 premise. All consoles are selling more than 4 millions in the christmas quarter.

That may be, but they're getting only 2 months of sales given Kinect releases nov 4th in America, possibly later in Europe (grr)
|
I may be wrong but I think that by christmas quarter he means, november, december and january. I dont see why october would be part of christmas, and quarter means 3 months. Even so, 2 millions per month of sales isnt what the article is about, why are you grrrrr at me?
|
January isn't a xmas month, and I was grrr'in at the fact it'll be out later in Europe.

Ok, great you werent grrr at me lol. Just in case you didnt understand my point, what im saying is that hes only talking of the christmas period, which isnt precise by the title nor legend11 premise. Worst than that, the title actually seems like the author is being quote. The prevision are actually quite reasonable, but simply saying a prevision of 2 millions per month dont make any sense. No wander many people here contested the prevision.
