It's sales are a direct result of advertising, hype, a giant market push and people believing it's better then it is rather then the quality of the actual product, one of the guys were I was working a bit ago (middle age married) bought it because of pretty much the false promises and was quite underwhelmed , I suspect the majority of sales were like that, impulse buy, and when something sells a ton fast it's never because of quality (since it hasn't been out long enough for people to know if it's quality) like I said the longer it's on the market the worse it's going to do, the fact that MS waited till it was very close to holiday season to launch it makes me think they felt the same way

Funny, you sound like what almost half of the posts on this site and many others have stated about the Wii since its launch.
I will say that I bought the 360 on launch day, the Wii on launch day, and the PS3 shortly after launch. I bought the Kinect about 2 weeks after launch. I hit the demo that you were speaking about, as i am 40 yrs old and have 4 kids at home. The difference being, that after playing the Wii for years, i was impressed by the Kinect. There were definite differences that actually made it harder at first, but once i got past the built in "this is how i did it on the other system" kinks, it does everything that they advertise. Of course, this is the shiny new thing, so it gets used a lot more because of that. But, like i have said in other posts, if they can get a steady stream of functional titles out there, it will always meet my expectations, if not exceed them.

The difference between wii and kinect is that wii is a full feldge system, came out years ago and was nintendos (the oldest successful brand name in video gaming) and I just don't see Kinect coming even close to getting the market appeal it did people who want it aren't waiting for a price cut, a few will be waiting for better games but I don't see it doing anything more then it already has so again I don't see it's sales increasing by any significant amount ever, not everyone is as easy to please as you guess we just have to wait another 3 months to find out who's right

Man some of you are in such full fledged denial.
When I see stuff like this I hear over and over. Kinect cant be good it is made by Microsoft.
Only reason Kinect has slowed is because console sales have slowed as they always do this time of year.
