I don't think your crazy, I just think the people who are buying it are crazy. Theres like no software at all. :/

Sales are good though. They better be, how much did they blow on advertising the damn thing?

If you are talking about games there are a few go to wikipedia there are nice list and a few of them have decent metacritic scores. If you talking about "Software" actually its a little hard for it not to work without software.

Advertising? They never released the figure they spent on Kinect...

Point to where you are not trolling

$500 million

MS never released that, it was a rumor from ny times.

It was projected that M$ would spend UPWARDS to $500

M$ certianly spent ALOT of money in pushing Kinect, but so did Sony for Move...I can assure you that ALL of those Kevin Butler commercials are not running for free on TV...they are on rinse-n-repeat all over sporting events (basically all that I watch on TV) from College Football to NFL to NBA to NCAA...so people need to spare me with this...Sony didn't push Move crap...BULLSHIT!  Sony has spent MILLIONS pushing Move, and granted M$ has spent far more, it's bacause M$'s campaign wasn't just for commercials, but instead to other venues:

"This time around Microsoft has struck a promotional partnership with Burger King. Roughly 400 million cans of Pepsi and Diet Pepsi will plug Kinect, along with 60 million cereal and snack boxes from Kellogg's."

As usual, people on the internet don't know WTF they are talking about, when spewing out garbage!

"Will the Kinect launch be a success or a failure despite all this incoming promotional cash? That remains to be seen, but I have a hunch this isn’t going to be the game-changing revolution Microsoft is hoping for."

I wonder if he  will print a follow-up article...probably not...lol.
