It is not like the CoD bundle was exclusive to the Xbox360 ...

I'm not sure your following my argument...

It's precisely because Black Ops HAD an effect on sales for all three consoles at the same time that Kinect had an effect that confounds the analysis.

except that the bundle IS exclusive to one of the 3 console suggesting that BOps effect will push further this console

in clear, so the "kinect bump" is paritally du to blackops too

I absolutely agree.  In fact everything you said agrees with everything I said...

The sales of Black Ops confounds any true analysis of the effect of Kinect.  Is that clearer?

In order to normalize the data and thus estimate a comparison (and it would just be an educated guess, not hard verifialbe facts) you would have to estimate the effect of Black Ops on the sales of all consoles at this week, and remove those #'s from the totals and THEN look for an effect of Kinect on the 360 and it's competitors.
