wait.....
so with the Kinect/360 slim effect, the 360 only shipped the same as the PS3 ??
I remember that before the release of Kinect, some 360 fanboys were saying that Kinect will make the 360 overtake the Wii in lifetime World Wide sales, and I thought they were just totally retarded
well obviously, Kinect is not as big as everyone was saying it was. It was strong in NA, but was DOA in Japan, and is weak in EMEAA. Just look at the PS3 hardware this week in EMEAA, compared to 360
the PS3 has great strength now in the EMEAA, partly because it's available in many more countries than the 360, and that strength will continue as some of the PS2 owners in those countries switch to PS3.
and another thing, for those 360 fanboys who were expecting the 360 to overtake the Wii in WW hardware, the Wii had success because the Wii was very strong in all regions, not just in the Americas.
Plus because of the 360 shortages in the U.S.A. , I suspect Kinect will lose some of the momentum it had during the holidays in Americas.
Anyways, I hate motion gaming, I hate Move, Kinect and the Wii. Unfortunately the Wii was a huge success, but I didn't think lightning would strike twice with Kinect, and I highly suspect that in a few months Kinect will have been seen as a fad, after the momentum fades....
