| superchunk said: Wrong. The initial sales, i.e. Nov/Dec, are directly attributed to the massive advertising campaign. The sales of 2011 and beyond (don't know why you think it will be around for "decades") will be based on word of mouth, which I agree is been very positive. |
For the most part, this. Though, I do believe the product not being completely horrible has added to its steady sales. But like you said, Nov and Dec sales have A LOT to do with the large campaign. It also has a lot to do with the holiday shopping craze, combined with it being the "hot, new thing." Once we get into late January/early Febuary, we'll see how well Kinect's word of mouth can sustain its sales.
