In the grand scheme of things I don't find it remotely hard to believe. When it comes to casuals, this is an evoloution to Wii, it's going to captivate them the same way. It's exactly why its next xmas is going to be bigger than this one, and why 20 mill is a lock on, even if mid year sales die down a tad.

Kinect will be a best seller at christmas for a few years to come yet. When it reachs $99 and then $69... well

Why do you keep comparing it to the Wii? Its an addon, it will have as much as an effect as Wiifit. And it's blowing up in one country while doing well in others.

Comparing it to Wii Fit is stupid, Wii Fit isn't HW that is going to get meaningful price cuts and SW for it ..... as far as casuals go (the people amazed by Wii) Kinect is a CONSOLE. They'll buy the BUNDLE.

The funny thing is the way you describe Kinect sales for next year is the way wiifit sold but wihout a pricecut. Wiifit is even more amazing as it had no software support as it should have had.

Yes Wii Fit was amazing in terms of sales, but it still doesn't mean the 2 can be compared in sales predicting, if they track the same it's for different reasons.

They are both addons, right? they both rely on their console and they both support extra software.

Yeah, I also see Kinect more like the Wii Fit/Balance board than the Wii itself, as it is an addon that relies more on full body motion, and relies on a single game to push it (Wii Fit/Kinect Adventures). They are both sort of a one trick pony. People can act like Kinect is a console, but the fact is, in order to own a Kinect, or any of its games, you first need to own an Xbox 360. Much like with the balance board, it is a console add on.
