I fully admit the Kinect is a massive success right now. But it's too small a sample size. We are in the holiday season, during its launch, which makes it easier to sell a product. The key will be the longevity, which I believe will not really last beyond this holiday season. Even the 32x was sold out during its first holiday season.
If you look at the games, they are already not really selling. So eventually, one of two things will happen. Either Kinect will start to get some killer aps (there are certainly none announced yet) and will keep selling hardware, or third parties will keep making games like the ones now, and Kinect sales will fall off a cliff as a result.

Its worked for Wii for 4 years so why shouldn't it work for Kinect? And before you start naming good Wii exclusives, think after a bit, then start naming the ones that did good; oh yeah a total of 2 games, while Wii fit still outsells them combined and it has a sequel. Casual market don't need good games period.

You cannot be more wrong with that statement. Casual players are not stupid. They recognise quality games just like the so called hardcore. That is why the only three good Kinect games are selling decently, while all the bad Kinect games are selling badly.
