Does anyone actually care about Kinect 2? Most people that I know have it never use it.
Another thing: A console can't be in beta can it? Maybe they mean the system's OS is in beta or something? |
how come kinect keep selling then

Kinect sells well because it is bundled and seems like a good addition to families that have young children, but its software sales are generally pretty weak (I suspect) because it doesn't really deliver the experience people expected ...
I could be wrong but I expect that Kinect 2 will be successful if bundled with the next XBox system, the price of the system doesn't increase beyond people's confort level ($400), and it is not the primary input method for games. If Microsoft produces a $500+ system with Kinect as the primary input device I expect it would be a sales disaster on an unprecidented level.

you are wrong.

Software sales are decent. And these do not include digital releases like Fruit Ninja Kinect, which sold more than 1 million copies back in March.

I find it interesting that people claim the Wii has awful software sales with a tie ratio of over 8, but a tie-ration of 1.92 is decent software sales for Kinect ...
Edit: To put a 1.92 tie-in ratio into perspective, the Wii U currently has a 1.42 unbundled tie-ratio (which is similar to most systems when they are purchased) so half of owners would have to buy another game in order to match the Kinect's "decent" software sales.
