| cory.ok said: when microsoft is giving a free kinect to everyone they bump into and even random patrons of burger king, then yes, you'll never be able to meet demand. i wonder if they would be giving away all these free kinects if they thought that they would be sold out.. it doesnt make sense. if they think that they'll be backordered and never have enough kinects to satisfy demand then why on earth would they give them away? theyre not going to get more people using them than there already would be. if your goal is to create a user base and can only make 100 kinects in x amount of time, your user base will be at most 100 after that amount of time. it doesnt matter how people get the kinects. why would they be giving them away to everyone and their grandmothers (literally)? |
All in all between BK and Oprah and all that they're probably giving away about 10-15 thousand of these. If you expect to sell 5 million 15k is a drop in the bucket. It's less than a 1/3rd of 1% of the total sales.
