Kinect sucess is due to marketing and consumer perception almost exclusively, after the holidays it had a huge drop in sales, and I think it will continue dropping the longer it is out
|
but its still selling like crazy, and kinect advantures is always top 3 sold per week (its already sold more than 8 million, thats insane, sports champions will be luck to get that lifetime) also kinect is more expensive and the games cost more.
and its pretty limited iin the types of games and genres it can do

look at the graph, the second the holidays were over the thing dropped in sales massively and the sales continue to drop, and frankly I don't see them ever getting the sales anywhere near to where they were even with a price drop.

Because it is particularly attractive to casual crowd, I would expect to peak sales in the holiday season much closer to the Wii than other XBox product. I own a Wii and a PS3 and I have no interest in Kinect. However, it doesn't matter if its sales will or will not keep the momentum, Kinect is an undeniable success.

Not really, after taking into consideration R&D the cost of making each unit and the massive amount of money MS spent on marketing I would be very surprized if Kinect managed to make a profit yet
