It sold more than 10 millions under a year, it successfuly attracked casual gamers to 360, it's getting third party support and proves it can add a lot to core games (ME3, F4 etc). The 360 is the only console with yoy increases this year thanks to Kinect, even MS said it gave them a boost of adrenaline. I fully believe that it's also part of the reason of the Wii's decline.
MS is very happy of Kinect's results and will push it foward come next gen. Imo they will advertize like crazy once again this year... anyway, we'll see... two 1 million week?

How is voice commands alot, and F4 looks incredibly dumbed down, and it sold because of the advertising, there werne't even games out yet and people didn't even have a chance to research the few that were out, and 360 only had yoy increases because of the slim boost, soon as it cross that line it was down yoy, and of course they are happy now, it sold 10 mil, but when it sells less this holiday they won't be as happy, last year they had the advantage of no1 knowing anything about it besides what they advertised, this time they don't have that advantage

You're talking about Fable 4 right? But I was talking about Forza 4 my bad I should've precised If you think Forza 4 looks dumbed down then there's nothing I can do for you.
People should stop saying Kinect sold solely because it was heavily advertised. The product is good at what it does and that's what casuals and core gamers see. Of course not every games are good but hey, tell me every games are AAA on any console and I'll let go, tell me a bad game on PS3 or 360 with horrible graphics and controls is bad because of the hardware and I will just stop.
Maybe it's me but I think the slim effect didn't last too long. It wasn't as important as the PS3's slim effect which helped the PS3 a lot more. Remember it also say a huge pricecut at the same time and since then it's become competitive with the 360. MS didn't make that pricecut with the slim, just got rid of the older model. And I think that now that people are aware of the Kinect it will sell better than last year.

Yea I was talking about fable 4, forza barely uses kinect at all and kinect doesn't even have one great game it has one or two good ones and a few okay ones, camera games never work very well, you think more people being aware of kinect will make them buy it but I think it's the opposite the only reason it sold so much last year is because people didn't know the details of what they were buying and bought it on hype and faith and it still hasn't delievered what tehy expected (granted what they expected is impossible but thats MSes own fault for the way they hyped it)

Maybe you should do some research on Forza 4.
Why are you convinced that it didn't delivered what people expected. Are you talking about you? A lot of people think 360/PS3/Wii didn't delivered what they expected and it doesn't prevent these to sell a lot.

Because people expected that Milo VR stuff that MS hyped and canned because it couldn't work, MS overstated the capabilities of the device and not everyone double checked before buying it, forza 4 has headtracking with kinect for looking at the cars and stuff kinect is useless in the gameplay atleast that's were it stood last time I checked
