Sure Kinect will have a lot of sales but will it bring in that much profit?

Profits for Microsoft Gaming division isn't their primary goal.

I get a really big laugh at quotes like these.

 

Of course profit is very important to MS's gaming division.  Without profits eventually even Microsoft has to fail.

On Topic, I don't think the marketing will be quite so high.  Kinect has had a lot of free marketing so far and I expect this to continue a  lot.  If it gets good word of mouth then it will need even less advertising.  I am certain that if Kinect is a big success they will make a shitton of profits ( not only off of Kinect but also software, hardware and live memberships).

Since Microsoft introduced the Xbox brand back in 2001, they haven't seen profit till ~mid 2008.

I get a really epic big ass laugh at misinformed people like you.

 

Edit: What I meant with my sentence is that Microsoft can introduce products at a loss with higher purposes than just to triumph on that market...
