Is the Kinect boost to the Xbox 360 an illusion?

To answer simply, no the boost is not an illusion Malstrom, you are reading the numbers correctly, almost 200,000 more 360's sold in the latest week update on this site.  Kinect adventures is looking like it'll easily reach 10,000,000 lifetime sales this year. :)  Great marketing plus great product = great sales. :)

10 million by the end of this year is only 2 million this year which is a massive drop from the 2 months it was out last year and kinect isn't a great product

That would indicate at LEAST 10 million this year, so he low bailed it at a round number.

 

And that comes down to personal opinion, some people love motion controls, others hate it. The product hasn't even been out for more than 1 holiday season and people are already beginning to label it as a failure/sucess, kind of reminiscent of the Wii d00mz. Holiday season 2011 will tell whether it has a large impact or whether it's a mediocre one.

I'm not talking about the impact I'm talking about the actual product, it's differences from eye toy and ps eye are negliable in practice, marketing/hype and the false promises and false hope of potential are the reasons it's selling not the games
