At this rate Kinect better sell 10 million units at a hefty profit to make that cheddar back. I don't think Kinect will outsell Move this year but its user base should be higher since a person could buy 4 move controllers to just 1 Kinect. Plus it is already 2 million units behind but I guess if that much money can't sell the system nothing can. |
Well considering Sony did not make a dime on the PS3 until 4 years in to production, I think MS is in a much better position with Kinect than Sony was with the PS3.
They have made a low cost, pretty nifty and interesting tech device which can capture casual users and their imagination very easily. Kinect is a much smaller risk and Microsoft will be laughing to the bank within 6 months.
Now I probably won't use it much until they release some good games for it...but its easy to spot a hit product. I didn't like the last Britney Spears record, but I could tell it will be a hit with the masses.
