Seece said: Big gratz to PS3, this is totally unexpected and now I have the horrible job of adjusting my gap charts AGAIN! |
I'm actually not at all surprised. In fact, I thought we would see this sooner (With the PS3 adjustments we probably did)... I go on Amazon USA a lot and look at their top 100. In the last few weeks I have saw a decline in the non-Kinect XBox SKUs and an increase in Kinect SKU purchases (Just checked and the $399 Kinect bundle is 11th and the 4Gb Kinect bundle is 57th while the first regular 360 without Kinect is 52nd).
Although Amazon is not an authority it does show a trend. As Kinect is getting closer sales of 360 hardware are shifting from consoles without Kinect to the console bundle with Kinect. Which means lower sales right now and a significant increase when Kinect starts shipping in North America on November 4th.
