Wow 20k from Jan-Mar is just abysmal :-/

There's only that many french people that can tolerate speaking English, the new language packs should see a little bump in sales, well no guarantee either, but I'd think multilanguage support will be popular with Europe and anywhere outside of US.

Nobody, absolutely nobody, bought Kinect in order to talk to a machine. People bought it to play games. People will continue to buy Kinects because they want to play. The idea that sales will bump because of "you can talk to the device" is just a pipe dream, nothing more (not even mentioning that there are currently no games that require any speech input).

And those 300'000 sold Kinects were sold into retail. Stocks are and have been a plenty in France, so 20k for Jan-Mar is not a surprise.
