Essentially, the bundles for people without X360 are in stock everywhere but Target, while the Kinect hw game bundles for existing X360 bundles are sold out everywhere but Game Stop. This sort of reflects my concern for Kinect this Christmas - the initial buyers will be the existing X360 audience primarily. The console bundles are certainly selling well if you look at the top-selling retailer products on their websites, but it doesn't seem like the demand is ahead of expectations in the way that the Kinect Game bundle demand is from the X360 audience. For Kinect to be a huge hardware pusher, it'd be easier the other way around - the sales to the base strong but not sellouts and the sales to everyone else above supply levels on strong word of mouth or something. What have you all heard anecdotally? Once COD week slows a bit I'm probably going to go over to some retailers and ask for some opinions on Kinect sales. |
wow, you just gave up all the sources you use to come up with your sales estimates...I wonder how many stores for each brick and mortar retailer you actually consult for data...
