Wow, some people.
Kinect is a platform. The games are separate from standard 360 games, they REQUIRE Kinect to play their games and you CAN'T play Kinect games without a Kinect device.
Now instead of griping over what you feel or don't feel is considered a platform, how about you comment on the actual figures themselves? He is free to make any comparison that he wishes and I think it seems some of you can't get past a single word.
Would you rather he put best "hardware" launch ever? Or even "gaming hardware" or "motion platform"?
Stop derailing a perfectly reasonable thread, it's against the rules. Perhaps you can have a mod clear up these off topic, irrelevant posts?
OT: That really is impressive. It does show the haters that Kinect is moving plenty of software given its age and current userbase. Great thread.

Let's get this straight. The Move/Kinect/Wii Remote are not platforms. Needing one to play a motion game on either the PS3/360/Wii does not make them a platform, and does not make them hardware. They are peripherals. They are motion devices that allow you to play motion games on your platform/hardware of choice.
Talking about Kinect sales is fine, so long as they aren't being flounted as anything that they aren't. Don't come in here pre-emptively crying "DERAILMENT!" when all that is being pointed out is that a comparison with console hardware is redundant.

Since when does "platform" have to equal "console"? Oh, by the way, retailers do consider Kinect a console actually... The SKU's they use for Kinect are the same category as for the actual consoles, while Move and Wiimotes are obviously just accessories.
But I digress. You can have multiple platforms on a single machine, just so you know. Take operating systems for example, or services like Netflix and OnLive which are obviously platforms that can run along other platforms on a single machine.
And by all means, if you feel the need to point it out, do so in a PM or wall post, but don't derail a thread over nitpickign of one little word choice that has a variety or definitions.
