last time I checked they were only making 50 on it per sale and half a billion on advertising is alot a hell of a lot of money and again this is off topic, the topic is about hte capabilities of kinect not the sales

I'm curious about this half a billion number. I've seen it being thrown around but I'm wondering whether it was just for Kinect or if it was for Kinect and the 360? In addition, was it only for the holiday or for a longer term?

Anyone have any links or proof on what the duraction and the scope of this marketing budget was?

It was said to be for Kinect so they wouldn't have used it to advertise the 360 without kinect, and there is nothing about the duration but companies have quarterly budgets I have never seen any company have an advertising budget that spans that
