The main reason for this weeks sales peak is because of the onlslaught of soccer games. Europeans love soccer. They'll even pay $400 bucks to play it on their T.V.
I think personally the 360 will start to be boosted in sales again because of Fable 3, coupled with dramatic sales increase because Kinect. Surveys have shown a STRONG reaction from non-gaming consumers for Kinect. The ability just to you it for everday use, like watching movies or listening to music seems to be a big incentive for many customers. This is why Microsoft is starting to research Kinect capable computers. I actually foresee a strong connection with large screen LCD t.v.'s and Kinect in the future, having this bundle be a dramatic increase in sales for both. I do understand the recession, but we are nearing our down turn on that, with our only option to go up coming forth.
Just the basic things are what people are getting stoked about. That basic interest is what got the Wii it's huge sales, and I personally believe the PS3 is also riding on the back of Move sales as of right now. If I had $50,000 I would totally invest in Kinect specificly.
This is all opinion based off of surveys and current consumer reaction (pre-orders, trial runs, etc. etc.). I truly just think when people look at Kinect at say, Best Buy, they aren't going to look at the PS3 and go "oh, well.... Killzone 3 is coming out." The people who will buy Kinect aren't even going to know what Killzone is, let alone Halo.
V: And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. Last night I sought to end that silence.
