Is the Kinect boost to the Xbox 360 an illusion?

The funny thing about the "500 million" advertisement campaign is that MS probably have spent more than 1 billion to develop the hardware and software behind Kinect but no one says anything about it (even MS).

 

About 360 sales,I believe that the new model, plus games like Halo Reach and Fable III have been helping the salesas (maybe as much as Kinet).

 

About Wii sales, it is simple: no new games means no hardware sales this is Wii is down YoY.

 

 

Maybe but Kinect Sports is making a good amount of money back as well. I for one, own a wii and have always loved nintendo but MS has or should I say upgraded a few wii fans that I know of.

In what way is the Kinect an "upgrade?" The games look far worse, and I think having a controller is easier, more presice, and more practical than no controller..
