I don't see how it failed when what it was brought here for was to bring in casual gamers. Just dance, Kinectimals, Kinect Sports, etc has all done great. This has put microsoft into a great postion because as of right now they are the only one going into next generation that has both casual and hardcore gamers in masses. They just need to not try and force hardcore games into it.

Now Sony Move is a different story, that has been a failure.

I would check the Kinect/360 tie ratio. Only a certain portion of people bought Kinect with the Xbox 360. Others just bought the peripheral who already owned it.

Look I get you don't like kinect and that is cool but kinect has been a big success for microsoft.  I hate kinect btw and I refuse to buy it for my 360.  However though, over 20 million have been sold.

Kinect Adventures-16.96m
Kinect Sports-4.49m
Dance Central 2.85m
Kinect Sports 2-2.06m
Just Dance 3-1.82m
Dance Central 2-1.75m
Zumba Fitness-1.62m
Kinectimals-1.27m
Kinect Joy Ride-1.20m
Your Shape:Fitness Evolved-1.13m

Yeah that is 35.13m games sold from 10 games in 2 years time.  Yeah you're right though, Kinect has been a failure.......Get over yourself.  I don't like the thing either but it has been successful no doubt about it.  If you are going to make arguments with people start backing it up.

S.T.A.G.E: Bububu teh marketing!!!!!!

He just loves that fallback excuse :P
