Nothing will happen to it.

Is 360 selling so well right now because of Kinect? No

so Kinect can't do any harm to 360 really, if it does fail 360 will continue to sell well like it is now.

But if Kinect is massive it'll increase 360 sales even more, thats true as well.

360 is selling alright without Kinect. But this week its only ahead like 37,000 units thats not extremely ahead. Now you do offer a good point with 360 selling alright now how could Kinect hurt sales in the future. Simple, negative publicity if Kinect fails to perform as expected millions of consumers might get upset. These million consumers then spread their story to millions of possible consumers. This negative press spread by mouth cause thousands to millions of gamers to go for Move or Wii instead of choosing 360.

If Kinect fails big time the ramifications for 360 as a platform could be huge. Especially if Move manages to ignite the sales they hope to get.

I dunno everyone says any publicity is good publicity but could Kinect if failed causing tons of negative publicity cause hardware sales to hurt?
