I read a bit of what people are saying and it seems that the general consesus is that some say its successful some say its not.
but i find its better to break down the regional success of Kinect. if we look at Europe and Japan, Kinect isnt selling a lot of Xboxes. and even if it is PS3 and Wii are beating it week on week for most of this and last year in both Europe and Japan, despite the $500mil spent on advertising.
and even i have seen evidence of a marketing campagain. here in the UK we've had live demos of Kinect in a grocery supermarket, not just shopping centres (malls) or even game stores, but Microsoft have gone all out with marketing.
clearly this is not the result they wanted, where 2 months after Kinects release, Wii and (in particular) PS3 are still selling abundantly more in Europe and Japan.
the only place where Kinect is having a substantial success is the US. where even there a lot of Kinect users already have an Xbox they're just buying the standalone unit. but either way the device has been a monumental success in America, but a disapointment if not failure in the rest of the world.
