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.

Not sure what you are talking about, you make it sound like people have Kinect due to it being a free bundle.  

Every kinect sold is rhe result of a positive buying decision on behalf of the consumer. It isn't bundled free and both console flavours are available without Kinect. 

No, I am mainly talking about how bundling will help its sales and perhaps sell more than Vita lifetime.  If you want to think I am taking a Wii Sports approach look at this then so be it.  I know plenty of Kinect sold by themselves or people spent extra money on the SKUs for the inclusion of Kinect.  I was just stating that bundling it with every SKU would be better for the numbers than selling it separately.   If anything I view it like MK Wii.  Some people are like well MK Wii only sold well because it was bundled while ignoring that it sold 25+m or whatever by itself.   However, I see it sold a shitload at first and was helped by bundling later.
