Kinect's software is doing well, but honestly I expected Dance Central to be doing better by this point, considering how big Just Dance is.  Then again, I expected Rock Band to quickly eclipse Guitar Hero, and that never really happened until the genre nosedived anyway.

OP should also probably point out that Wii Play was Japan only for the first six weeks.


but just dance has a lot more possible customers. you cant expect that 5 million people buy dance central with 4 million kinect owners and a lot of those 4 million will be christmas gifts so a lot of people just bought kinect wihout an additional game . 

Well, I didn't expect 5m sales... but I also didn't expect it to get outsold by Kinect Sports.  Dance Central seemed positioned as the killer app, with a TON of advertising (I've seen more DC ads than all other Kinect games combined), it not being past a million by now is just slightly disappointing imo.  It's still doing well, just not as well as I thought it would.

Kinect Sports on the other hand is doing quite a bit better than I expected.

The sports mini-games and such are more familiar to the populous when you talk about motion gaming, when dealing with a type of controller scheme they're not familiar with.  I think that the longer Kinect is out, then people will start getting used to the idea of it, just as the Wii's controls, now natural to most of us, has drifted into our hearts over time.
