dude, you're ignoring how hardware and software work together. There is plenty of good, mediocre, software for ALL hardware. But that's where Kinect Sports falls under. Not great Killer App software. If hardware sales are EVER to sustain themselves, you need at least one killer amazing piece of software. Stagnating before you get to 3 million makes you just like all the other good, mediocre, games that are abundant on ANY piece of hardware.
Kinect Sports failed because it was SUPPOSED to be the killer app for Kinect. MS knows that it was supposed to be. Dance Central and all the other games were successes because they sold "well" and they were supposed to. Kinect Sports was the rip off of Wii Sports, so it was supposed to be amazing for sales. It was supposed to be MS's Wii.
That's what you're not getting. Kinect Sports plays a vital role in MS's scheme for Kinect, the new casual side of the Xbox franchise. Kinect Sports has to be the leader of this new business side of MS. It's currently failing because it's already plateauing.
