Kinect sensors sold in 2012 according to VGC: 3,342,957
Kinect Software sold in 2012 according to VGC: 11,908,375 (not counting Kinec Adventures here!)

And this does not include digital titles like Wreckateer or Fruit Ninja Kinect, which alone sold about 2 million I think. Of course it does not include "Better with Kinect titles" either.

Anyway, VGC is not a reliable source when it comes to Kinect. MS reported 20 million shipped 6 weeks ago and VGC still has it at 19 million.

If you assume that everyone who bought a Kinect Sensor bought another Kinect game (a relatively fair assumption), that would mean that there was an average of (roughly) 0.5 games sold to owned Kinect Sensor in 2012. With how people's purchasing habits tend to be distributed, that you will have some households buying 2 or more games in 2012, I would be surprised if 1/3 of existing Kinect owners bought a game for Kinect in 2012.

Kinect may be a worthwhile add-on to pursue, but it would be foolish of Microsoft to make it the central piece of their next generation strategy.

"assumptions is the mother of all fuck-ups."
That was a signature here.

And who cares if existing Kinect owners or new kinect owners buy a game. End the end of the day it comes down to software sales.
