| 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. |
Care to explain that ?? 500k systems (standalone and bundles) and over 600k pieces of software in 3 days in the U.S certainly looks like a console launch to me , a mighty succesful console launch i might add.
Also why do people even bring move to this , a device/joystic/whatever the hell it is that seems like it hasn't launched yet based on the software sales of its games ?
How can you compare something that creates a new ecosystem for software (kinect) with something that is , at best , an alternative method to play killzone and socom ?? All of the move games COMBINED did less than 100k in their first NPD month . Serioously kinect and move are 2 completely different things.
