Kinect sold like 8 million in less then 2 months, since then it hasn't even sold 1 million more thats a drop off of over 80% nothing else dropped off even close to that much 

You sure about that?  Let's take a look:

In Dec Kinect sold - 3,964,263

In Dec PS3 sold - 3,087,016

Kinect Jan - 993,875 (25% of what it sold in Dec)

PS3 Jan - 992,692 (32% of what it sold in Dec)

Hardly a huge difference.  Of course, we're talking consoles vs an add-on that just launched so let's compare to something else:

From launch until end of Dec Kinect sold - 7,171,194

For the same period GT5 (PS3s biggest exclusive) sold - 5,076,495

Also Sports Champions (bundles with Move in many places) sold - 1,970,461

Now let's look at January sales:

Kinect - 993,875 (13.8% of what it had sold total up until that point)

GT5 - 337,178 (7.4% of what it had sold up until that point)

Sports Champions - 176,313 (8% of what it had sold up until that point)

===========

So no, you're wrong.  It's doing just fine and, in the case of software, better than other products.  Of course, I'm sure you knew that anyway.

No I'm not wrong, MS annouced that Kinect sold 8 million at the end of december, and as for sports champions it's not always bundled unlike kinect adventures so the compairson isn't fair, it's like if I compared Heavy Rains sales to Dance central, and again kinect is constantly dropping and it's not going to go back up and it was advertised more then anything pretty much ever with that much advertising it better sell that much
