Kinect isn't pushing XB360 sales very much anymore, but the device itself still sells well, regularly outselling Balance Board even in the markets where the latter is now also bundled with Wii for a quite attractive price. If it doesn't drop dramatically, we'll be able to say that with Kinect MS found a nice and quite big new part of the market, potentially as big as BB and WiiFit. Too early to tell, but up until now it's doing a lot better than I and many other sceptics expected (although I correctly predicted it would have hit a lot harder Balance Board than the whole Wii and it wouldn't have affected very much PS3). Anyway, Wii has nothing to worry ouside of Japan, with enough new big games at the right moments it should still be able to be this year's best seller WW.
