stop trolling carl, the purpose of kinect is not to sell consoles, these are irrelevant

I disagree.  Kinect's purpose is to sell more consoles. Current Xbox 360 owners (going by online sites) would have been perfectly happy for MS to stick with what they were doing.  Now if the standalone units are selling out to the current core crowd then that just bodes well for the more casual audience as well.  I for one believe MS plans to use more of the manufactured Kinect's in bundles rather than standalone.  I would think 2 or 3 to 1.

Microsoft stated plenty of time that the sole purpose of kinect is to turn core gamers into casual gamers, so they don't have to make big expensive games anymore, and the fact that kinect is sold out but not the bundle prove that they are succeeding.

I'm calling bullshit on this post.  Where has Microsoft stated that they want to turn anyone into a casual gamer?  Maybe you could point out some articles or links where they stated this please?

 

On topic:

I agree that you can't go by online sales to point out how well something is selling to a certain degree.  However with the simple fact that MS has upped their goals and so many sites are sold out should go to show you that indeed it is selling well.  I don't see how anyone in their right mind would disagree.  Well other than being a fanboy and living in denial that is....
