I'm going to go ahead and say no. I believe the Vita can get at least 30m lifetime sales. They have been bundling Kinect decently with most of their SKUs. It isn't bundled with every SKU though right?

no

Well, if they start bundling it with every single SKU then your prediction might come true.  Just depends if they drop it for a Kinect 2 when the next xbox comes out.  Perhaps they might have a successor for the Kinect on release of the next system.  I just read this article and they are stating rumors of it releasing a 299 with Kinect 2 , 8 times as powerful system, etc..  You would think they would have to be taking a loss on hardware if they are going to bundle the next Kinect with the new system while maintaining a 299 price point.

I don't think they'll drop Kinect 1.0 just because they release 2.0 with x3ox: Kinect 2.0 won't be compatible with Xbox360, and therefor MS will continue to sell 1.0 to all of those how can't afford x3ox or hasn't gotten Kinect for their 360...

And a little off topic: going by that rumor it's quite clear that x3ox won't be a massive leap over Wii U. But I'm derailing the thread if we're to go deeper in to that analysis ;)
