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?
|
Not a matter of being impressed or not, holiday season inflates sales by a very large margin. If kinect launched in late summer or spring, whatever it would take much more than 8 weeks to achieve what it is achieving.
Thats why it is important to mention it did that on the holiday season, otherwise I could brag about Wii selling 1.5 million units per week all the year =)

Not really.
People scoffed at 5m kinect by xmas when it was launched... people even said it risked being DOA at the given price (I was one of them) but here we are with between 5m and 6m sold in its first xmas after just 8 weeks. The Wii didn't even do that.
So yes, its impressive whenever it is.

Intentionally misleading? If there were 5-6M Wiis available in its first eight weeks it would have sold 5-6M.
I was lucky enough to get a Wii on launch day. I paid £180 from amazon.co.uk. I could have sold it on ebay for roughly £500 that christmas. That is how bad the Wii shortages were.
