Kinect is just huge...

Bundle with Adventures could do close to 1 million next week... 5.5m by year end.

Kinect Sports will get close to 2.0m by year end.

Dance central will come close or pass 1.0m.

Kinectimal will pass 0.5m.

All of this will have happened in just 8 weeks.

Thats 10m software units attributable to Kinect by year end.

You for got to mention those weeks took place on the holiday season.

 

and?

you arent impressed then?

I'm not impressed at all of Kinect games sales, and I'm not surprised either when you consider the games.. Kinect Adventures, well that's a given since you must buy it when you buy a Kinect. The other two best titles in quality by far, Kinect Sports and Dance Central, are (or will be) million sellers.

Beyond that, I don't see any other games out now ever reaching that mark. Most will struggle to reach half that mark. And this is during the holiday season, which provides a huge lift to games sales.. What will Kinect game sales be like in the slow periods next year? I think that Star Wars game should do well, but aside from that I litterally see no other Kinect games that will achieve success, now or in future releases.

I mean obviously there will be more titles announced that are of better quality, but if the games can't even sell NOW, during the Kinect launch and on the strength of the holiday season, I wouldn't expect that to last long.
