So to prove a point I believe Kowenicki put this thread together and it proves the point. Kinect software and hardware sales are doing very well. |
I must be missing something. I fail to see how ANYONE can possibly view those Kinect games sales as good. Take out Kinect Adventures (which you need buy in order to purchase a Kinect), you have a whopping TWO titles that have passed the million mark. Most titles will struggle to even reach the 500k mark. The Udraw games have sold more than most of those Kinect games. You have 3 Kinect games in the top 50 this week. 0 in the top ten of NPd. And this is all during the strength of the holiday season, when everything is lifted.
So what this means is that people are buying the hardware, but its games are not selling. Sooner of later, something will have to give, and the Kinect hardware sales will be lowered to be more in line with the software sales, because like consoles, the main reason for Kinect's existance is the software. Unless killer aps start coming out next year, Kinect sales will fall. I don't mean this to sound harsh or anything, I'm just stating the reality of the situation, which Kinect supporters don't seem to want to see.
