you see...... this is what we are up against and this is one of the reasons for this thread

the lack of coherent thought here is staggering.

the installl base of KInect is 4m! and you expect it to have games in the top 10 of NPD? (in November the install base was less than 2m)

THINK!

Did the Wii have a game in the top 10 of NPD for November 2006?

I have no idea...  go look.

Top 10 Games

360 Gears of War - Microsoft 1mm units $61.5mm (Includes Collectors's Edition ) 
PS2 Final Fantasy XII - Square Enix 896K units $49mm 
Wii Legend of Zelda - NOA 412K units $20.2mm 
Guitar Hero 2 w/ Guitar - Activision 356K units $28mm 
WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2007 - THQ 348K units $17.3mm 
360 Call of Duty 3 - Activision 333K units $19.7mm 
PS2 Madden NFL 2007 - EA 250K units $9.7mm 
PS2 Need for Speed: Carbon - EA 237K units $9.4mm 
NDS Nintendogs: Dalmation & Friends - NOA 219K units $6.5mm 
NDS Pokemon Ranger - NOA 206K units $6.4mm

Wii -- 476K

There you go. It's possible with an installed base like Kinect's to have a title in the top 10.

That is one of Nintendo's biggest franchises. If MS/Sony released a Halo/GT as a launch title for their next console you can be sure it would be in the top ten too.

Kinect doesn't really have a killer app yet.
