Not even close? Give me some numbers. A few places with some remaining stock doesn't prove, "it wasn't even close to selling out."

How about every single unit they gave away, or the fact that stores with very few preorders got like 30 kinects, sorry that I don't have solid numbers but the fact is kinect wasn't even close to selling out on preorders and it was all just bull to make people think they wouldn't beable to get it unless they preordered it, sorry that country wide numbers aren't available but theres tons of proof 

How many did they give away? Lets say they gave away 10K or even 20K. That's nothing compared to how many they sold. It was also part of the marketing.

As I said before, perhaps a lot of stores sold out just on pre orders. I remember they were telling stores to stop taking pre orders. But that may have been because some stores were getting more pre orders than units.

Basically, you have no proof of how close they were to selling out all around NA. But we do know many major retailers are sold out. So just give it a rest.

There are tons of proof your just closing your ears and yelling lalala, sold out means supply exceeds demand and that didn't happen, 20k may not be alot but when you don't have enough consoles to sell it's huge 

Demand varies from place to place. You don't even consider they didn't have enough in some areas and too many in others.

We don't even know how many they sold all together in a single day yet you make a big deal about consoles given away.

What are we even debating? Its clearly a success. You just seem to think not massively enough. Earlier you said they'll be lucky to hit 3 million for the holiday. Like that's a bad thing?
