The devs that weren't attracted by the hardware sales will only be attracted by software sales of others trust me this changes very little 


trust you? trust someone on an internet forum... no problem... riiight, now back to the point in hand.

Developers will start getting attracted by both, by the way you are talking you are not a developer, I am not either, but look at ffxiii that was done because they would lose sales in Americas if they didn't. The 360 is a force in the Americas and UK, It is a sales whore for softwre and hardware in those areas, software also other places.

As Banned again has noted that Kinect software is selling well Dance Central, Kinectimals, Fitness Evolved, Kinect Sports, Zumba, check the sales, for a seemingly empty arrangement of games they are selling bloody well for something that is in its 5th month, more will come as well, I have missed some probably.

I personally have; Kinectimals, Kinect Sports, Fitness Evolved (but got if i remember what its really called), Dance Central, Kinect Adventures (duh!)... I think thats it. My mum wants me to get Zumba... she can get her own 360 but none the less, these games are selling.

If a dev hasn't jumped on board yet they want to know how well a 3rd party non-launch game would do or maybe just see if Kinect is just a short lived fad, either way until a 3rd party game does well (2-5 million) well they aren't going to jump on board, and frankly the ones that have jumped on board look like they have moved their shovelware from the wii to kinect and this line is off topic, this topic is about the new agorithyms which again won't change anything 

Dance central will be hitting that mark real soon and I'm also willing to bet  Your Shape Fitness evolved will too.

You also got to remember that A lot of these games did not cost a whole lot of money to develop for, so they are going to be looking at how easy it was to make a profit on simple made games as well and the better of them, like dance central, Kinect Sports, Kinectimals will all hit that mark. So it seems just as long as you actually put time, effort and a little money in, you should make your money back. So all in all I think it is a major success and this software just adds to that success.

Again 1st party launch games, I doubt clones of them now will reach the same amount of sales and thats what devs are waiting to see and again not what this thread is about why am I the only one talking about the algorithym
