It'll be at 60 mill by the end of 2011, 20 mill is 33%.

I bought Kinect, I consider myself a core gamer. 500k bought Kinect in America in 3 days, HW rose about 80k, shave 20 off that for natural holiday boosts (same as Wii) so the bulk of those Kinect sales (over 80%) were core gamers. Core gamers (despite what PS3 fan/boys say on this site) will lap up Kinect.

 

Core gamers will buy Kinect, but MS is also using it to market to casuals to increase the userbase. As of right now, there aren't any true Core games 'designed specifically for Kinect'. If the Kinect attach rate went over 50%, it would be hard to consider it the true hardcore console that it currently is. 

I never said it would hit 50%, and again, I consider myself a core gamer and I bought Kinect.

The problem is though, you say if Kinect hits 20m by next year


20 mill by end of 2012 if it's a hit, at which point the userbase will be 65 - 70 mill. Even less than 33% attach rate.

I never said that, I said about 13 mill by end of 2011.

You're right, you never said Kinect would have an attach rate of 50%. I used it as a point of reference to show why the 360s userbase would have to grow so much before kinect sold 20m.

 

And you're right, you never said you predicted 20m by the end of 2011 either, I was referring to THIS statement you made:

"It'll be at 60 mill by the end of 2011, 20 mill is 33%."

 

You're looking at things from the wrong angle, and you're going to start giving people here the impression that you're a 360 fanboy. Sadly your signature agrees. There's nothing in it to even remotely hint at otherwise.
