Typical for haters to come in and add that they think it's because jesus presented it on mtv one night. If it sucked it would have flopped by now. I see Just as many adds for move but yet I don't see the sales that Kinect has recieved.

 You know the reason people bought it around me, THEY TRIED IT.  Thats over 5 people that bought it because they liked it. Not because the adds are so convincing that people just will go blow 300 like that. It's because it's a good product.

HERE COME THE HATERS. ARE THESE NOT THE SAME PEOPLE THAT SAY OR DID SAY BASICALLY THE SAME THING ABOUT THE WII.

You have seen a few different Kevin Butler ads on TV. Kinect had Burger King, Oprah, Ellen Degeneres, Walmart, etc.

people really need to stop typing etc when they have nothing else to add.

 

Yes initial sales are to do with advertising. As some people are saying the fact that it is still going strong is a lot to do with word of mouth

He said there's just as many Move ads as there are Kinect ads.....which just isn't true. Not to mention everything that Kinect did beyond conventional ads. I hardly consider it "having nothing else to add" when #1 dude was completely wrong, and #2 it was in directly addressing Kinect's sales based upon advertising and word of mouth. 

Now, let's put this all together. Kinect = more and better advertisement ---> more sales ---> more word of mouth. The positive word of mouth is an indirect cause of more word of mouth. That's all anyone who disagrees with the thread OP is trying to say. 

You don't get word of mouth without the sales. And you don't get the sales without the advertisements
