Again, the sales of the $250 Wii showed that casuals are willing to pay money for a fun experience. Kinect is having no problems selling at $150.

Thing is, Kinect isn't a fun experience for 150 bucks because you need a console to hook it up. The price is way higher than that for non 360 owners

The Wii is already the complete package.

 

@ OP When will numbers for Kinect be available?

The Wii sold most of its units at the $250 price point, Xbox 360 with Kinect is $300.  $50 is not a deal breaker especially since it can also play DVDs and has HD graphics.

The market has changed.  When the Wii was $250, there was no Kinect while the Core 360 was $300.  Now, we have a base model 360 Slim with Kinect compared to a $200 Wii with two games a Motion Plus.  $300 for a base model 360 Slim with Kinect is not bad.  But in today's market there is a much bigger difference with the Wii.
