| Reasonable said: I guess I'll have to join the flame target list! Those numbers are a good opening as a peripherial for sure, but less than I was expecting based on MS own statements and raising of their targets. With the push in US and the hype I was expecting a bigger initial purchase level than that, But... it is expensive and the holiday's are coming so these numbers might be the beginning of a sustained period of strong selling, which would then see MS be on target. Also... initial Move estimates turned out to be low so it may be Kinect is also a bit low. So, a very good launch as a peripheral, but not looking like a new console launch yet - saleswise vs marketing - for me. Likewise the actual purchased games are decent, but nothing amazing in their own right. But maybe I actually took MS too much at their word as to the initial impact Kinect would have. Anyway, like Move I'm going to treat the numbers with a grain of salt until more sources emerge and I see how the site settles on a final estimates. |
If it "sustained" these sales it'd hit 5 million in America alone by the end of the year!
"not looking like a new console launch yet" you need to go back and look at console launch's, they never that high. This has beat PS3 and 360 and will be just under par with Wii.
