Lets assume for a moment that Microsoft is infact doing this because they know reviews will be sub-par, and that Kinect is essentially.. crap.
With the amount of money they are throwing behind the advertising, I dont think any of that will matter.
Casuals will buy this $150 camera this holiday because marketing will almost force them to do so. By Jan or Feb of next year, MS will announce some future hardocre titles for Kinect and will price drop most likely which wll keep the sales trickleing in until the next box launches with a more refined Kinect 2.0.
But outside of America, people have brains that tell them when a product is flawed, so if this little conspiracy is true, I would expect to see Kinect sales, (and 360 sales) heavily reliant on North America.
