After all this, there are no official numbers.
But, from my perspective, Kinect will be huge this holiday. When I watch the reactions of people who finally use the technology, they can't believe it works and they enjoy it. The smiles are hard to wipe off their faces.
While many are calling this motion control, there is nothing really like it on the market. It's more like body control. The Wii and Move cannot come close to duplicating what you can do with Kinect, since they only are measuring the point where the controller is located.
So, in my opinion, Microsoft is the only company on the market offering an experience like this. And the Wii showed in the past that if you are the only one offering a certain type of product, you will be successful, because there is only one place you can buy the experience.
