How Many Units Do You Think Kinect Sold For Week One?

Well, it beat my expectations, but we'll see by how much. Even one mil was way too optimistic. This thing better have some frackn' good legs if Microsoft wants to get even close to it's 5 mil target goal. Unless it's shipped, I'm having serious doubts about it.

475,000 was only in 3 days, thats going to contribute to friends and family going out in coming weeks to pick one up. I already know two people getting one because they tried mine.

Sounds like the Wii effect to me-- word of mouth may be strong with this one. My family are very impressed with it, and they are the very definition of "non-gamer", not casual gamer.

Will this translate to more sales? Perhaps. But just as I was incredibly excited for the Wii only to stop playing after a week until the release of Brawl, its too early to say whether it'll have the "only at parties" feel the Wii had in it's beginning too. That doesn't mean anything when it comes to sales, but for the gamers who did get Kinect early like me, I don't want to feel gyped by this. I wonder how many weeks it'll take for me to get bored with the games it has now, though . . .
