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.

where did you get the numbers for the ratio?
